Win 7 setup - should I get an SSD HDD

Mel_P · 5 Oct 2009 at 11:28

Setting up a new i7 system for Win 7. Not really thought about this but should I buy on of these:

to load windows onto and then use the 1TB WD HDD (out of stock still!) for storage.

Is 32 GB big enough for windows?
Is there a finite life to SSD drives?

Questions, questions.............

Thanks OCUK forums. The intel is recomended:

PS - links in this article don't work.

BUT at £599 not sure I can justify that.....

Perhaps it's the 128GB and no pocket money till Christmas then!?

I cannot decide which to "preorder" for my Win 7 install.

64 GB (and regret it later)
128 GB (and bite the bullet!)

Any views please?

OK - I am persuaded - will pre-order 128GB. No pocket money for months!

(PS - just stopped using my PIII as a windows home server - this came with a 10 GB HDD for EVERYTHING!!)

Thanks all.
