So I don't know if I should get an SSD or not.

Also, when will the new generation SSD (G3) be available? and at what price approximately if anyone knows?

Basically if I decide to get it I am leaning towards the Crucial 128gb. I don't want anything smaller than 120gb and from what I read the crucial and Intel are the best around. I would go for the Intel 160gb but the write speed is much lower compared to the crucial.

So what I need answered is this:
1) Should I buy one now or not?
2) If now, which SSD should I look at?
3) If not now, when? Reason?

Thanks a lot overclockers :)
 
Thanks for the replies...

This is the main reason why I am asking.

So if I have to RMA my sammy F3 (although no one explained the results to me yet lol), I would want to install the OS on a new ssd and leave the sammy F3 as storage.

@ChileanLlama - I've read the link you provided earlier today but he doesnt take into consideration the crucial ssds which according to people are the best along with the intel ones.

@Yamahahahahaha - when you say wait... for how long exactly 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year?

And when I said about the write speeds I was comparing the crucial (190mbs) and the intel (70mbs).

Also will the crucial and intel SSDs price decrease in january/february?
 
yeah saw that... well

Is the Intel worth £75 more than the crucial?

And the 70mb write speed of the intel versus the 190mb write speed of the crucial is still putting me a bit off.
 
what constitutes a small write? and what is meant by a big write?

Can you please explain this as it would help my decision.

I use the pc for programming(c#, php, javascript, java, etc), moderate gaming, photoshop and a bit of web design, watching movies, and everyday use like browsing and word and such.
