With the current deals on SSD's it's a perfect time for me to upgrade but I am left with a dilemma of choosing the right one.
Currently I am running multiple OS's (Win7, XP Pro and Ubuntu) on two partitions on a 1TB HD. Are there any downsides in running all three OS's on a SSD and is it a straight forward process- as it is on a standard HD? I can perhaps run the Ubuntu off of my current HD and run both Win7 and XP from the SSD
I have a budget of ~ £150 and have been looking at:
Mach Xtreme Technology 240GB - £149.99

Corsair Force Series 3 240GB - £139.99

Intel 520 Series 180GB - £149.99

OCZ Agility 3 240GB - £139.99

I'm tempted to go with the OCZ Agility 3.. but then again I am no expert on SSD's. Which one would you go for and why?
Also I curently have a 1TB WD Caviar Green, 2TB Seagate Barracuda and a 640GB WD Caviar Blue. Is there a way I can utilise these in such configuration to get the best performance, of course with the addition of the SSD?
Cheers
