SSD buy now or wait?

[gilljoy]

I'm looking to get myself my very first SSD, been reading up and they seem pretty nifty.

I've got a grand total of 1.5tb of internal space available on my desktop so I dont think I would need a really big SSD as I'm planning on just using it for my windows install.

Any recomendations on a minimum size of drive? Mainly just for windows, office and a steam install with the games on annother drive?

Also is it worth waiting for the new intel G3 and the vertex 3 drives even though my motherboard doesnt support sata 6gbs

Don't know anything about the intel G3 and the vertex 3 drives but I can recommend the Crucial C300 SSD's. I have just built my first system with one and the speed applications open is amazing, blink of an eye and they are there!

They are supposed to bring about better pricing in terms of cost v capacity but that remains to be seen. I just went ahead and bought an OCZ Vertex 2E myself the other week and the difference is simply amazing.

Only regret is.... I should have bought one ages ago
