I want an SSD mostly because that score on my windows experience index is lower than anything else, and it's really important that I raise it.  Because windows experience index is serious business.

Oh and faster loading games + faster loading pc would be nice, but that's just an afterthought.

I'm not sure if it's worth reinstalling my OS on a relatively blazingly fast hard drive though! Harhar.

I spend a great deal of time benching and overclocking my systems.  While using EVGA eLeet for my overclocking tests is a great mechanism to find the right voltages and settings most of the time spent wasted is during reboots and trying to get in and out of the bios to keep those settings. Decreased booting times would make the whole overclocking experience just that much more appealing for me.

Multi-tasking operations is another appealing aspect of owning a Kingston SSD Now.  I often have several programs running while I surf the EVGA forums.  Being able to do it faster and with ease will put a smile on my face.

I'll take two please; I don't care what color they are... 

(sorry for my bad english, I do my best)

So, I'm trying to upgrade step-by-step my actual setup but I have some financial restriction (as everybody). I have just upgrade my old AMD 3500+ to a new Core i5 with an eVGA P55 and it roxxs but my harddrive didn't let me use these build at is fuly potentiel because it is too low :(
I think that a SSD can cure all of these an adding a news graphic card later gave me the perfect build. I'm still in DX9C begin to be old :D

What wouldn't I like to load on an SSD? Ultra-fast read/write times compared to mechanical drives pretty much necessitate installing the OS to it, leaving around 40g free... I'd have to switch around whatever game I was playing at the time so it's loading from the SSD for split-second loading screens, and I could also get visual studio to read from it, shortening I/O times that are inevitably the bottleneck of my programs.

Oh, and I really need to get my WEI score above the 5.3 that my stupid hard drive is limiting it to!

I have been thinking about making the jump to a SSD ever since they have started to become a lot quicker than traditional HDD,with the introduction Intels' drives and ocz with indilinx controllers and solving the problem of stuttering that everyone was seeing with the first micron controllers,BUT the only thing that has put me off is the current price per GB.If I was to receive one of these it would solve my conundrum!No longer have to wait so long for pc to boot up!load times been levels decreased!After all life to short to be spent waiting!Also better for benching my pc,the list of benefits go on...

I'm currently in the process of upgrading my Rig, and of course i've been looking at the SSD'S! I know it will boost load times as well as the overall experience of the Gaming beast! I look forward to getting my hands on one! 

SSD's are attempting to augment the slowest link in the chain, the hard drive.  The only sustainable performance SSD's that I am aware of, are the OCZ drives with on firmware garbage collection.  The architecture of SSD's are in it's infancy, but some are more infantile than others.  Sorry Kingston.  I use SSD's for static files frequently accessed.  Temporary files, I use RAM.  Storage I use a SAN/NAS. 

SSD's will mean one very great thing. For those who use Laptops, and really use it as a 'Lap'top, then there is less chance of loosing your future children from excess heat from screaming platters. Now a new matter exists, will ram chips spontaneously combust?

I had no idea that the SSD's had this much of an impact on the systems normal operations. This would change how build build all my systems, and allow my ability to get things don at my speed! I have grown tired of waiting and being able to outrun a lot of my programs do to data reads/writes and loading. Gaming sounds amazing! Even if I do not win I see this as the next item to try my hand at now that the prices are much better than they had been....

Thanks EVGA. I think this idea of yours is a good one....

My first experience with SSD was from my laptop. With only a 2.4 gh dual core CPU my laptop is noticeably faster, it boots in no time. I love it. SSD's are much lighter than HDD, require much less power to operate, (which sent my batt life through the roof). They are also very durable. I cant wait to see what one would do in my desktop.

I have yet to experience the performance gains of owning a SSD. I own a couple of Velociraptors and they get the job done, but if acquiring a SSD will help me get another notch in performance, I would gratefully welcome it, specially if it is a Kingston SSD no matter the GB size.

When my old Seagate 500GB drive spontaneously died last summer, I decided to bite the bullet and get an SSD for my OS drive. I picked up an OCZ Vertex 60GB drive on sale. I expected improved performance, but I was just blown away. Boot times are ridiculously fast, and load times for the handful games I have on the SSD are practically non-existent. More than anything, overall responsiveness in regular use has been vastly improved, whether it's opening files in Photoshop or just browsing the web. Moreover, SSDs aren't prone to mechanical failure, so I don't have to worry about the drive randomly seizing like my old Seagate did.

After this excellent experience with an SSD on my gaming rig, I am absolutely craving one for my laptop. I've got a relatively low-powered, ultra-portable laptop that I use daily for taking notes and writing papers, and to be honest, even on a clean install of Win7, its 250gb 5400rpm drive barely crawls along. Booting takes forever, and more often than not, I miss the first few minutes worth of notes in class just waiting for the thing to become useable. Laptops/netbooks really have the worst of both worlds in this respect, because they usually have low-powered processors (for a smaller form factor and longer battery life) paired with a sluggish HDD to keep the cost down. On the upside, however, this means that these platforms have the most to gain from upgrading to an SSD.

Ultimately, I'm a student, and I simply can't justify purchasing an SSD for my laptop at this time (as much as I love the one in my desktop, even that was probably more than I could afford to spend). A new SSD would completely revitalize my laptop, improving not only my daily productivity, but also my data security.

Thanks to EVGA and Kingston for great products and great contests like this one :)

As I am too cheap to buy one myself, an SSD would be the centerpiece for a new build; a build that has been pending the release of Fermi. Core i7 + (dare I say, SLI?!) Fermi + SSD = . In the mean time it would breathe new life in to my somewhat antiquated junk-box. Plus, all three of my HDDs are Seagate 7200.11's... I have no idea why mine have been running as long as they have, but I need some relief in case (when) they blow up.

Most people don't know this, but I fight ninjas. It's true, when I was 8, they kidnapped my family. I swore revenge, so when I was 17, I broke into the main Ninja Headquarters CA (Their operating base for the west coast of America) and attached tracking devices to all their employees.

You read correct, at any one time, I am tracking at least 240 ninjas. Well, my computer is more then capable of handling that, with an EVGA X58 LE motherboard and GTX 275, however recently, as more ninja's have been joining, the performance has been degrading. I suspect things may be getting bottlenecked by my average 7200 RPM hard drive.

If you, or anyone you know has had family members abducted by ninjas before, contribute an SSD to my ninja-tracking rig now.
