gotta load the level fasta
gotta shoot the otha basta
gotta pwn the online boiz
and hear 'em make some noiz
'bout my wicked killa toiz
so I kin thank you gents
while i'm sittin on a fence
shootin tubes into the noobs
amid the putrid online stench
of the ragdolls I could kill
cuz its true that drive is chill
hey hey hey
EVGA
gonna turn my 'puter on
from when I wake until next dawn
with a spankin' SSDrive
that will help to keep me live
in the online beatdown hive
on a box thats made for one
with my Big Freakin' Gun
gonna load first on dat map
gonna busta major cap
as i get into position
while all the competition
is waitin for the chance
to dance the deaths-rattle dance
and while they still be in the spawn
they gettin pwned pwned pwned

An SSD can help me LOL at ppl during league of legend's loading page. =D

Well i really want this ssd because im building a new computer and i was gonna put an ssd last on my list because they are so much i am a gamer and this will really speed up loading times

In all I want to make this short and sweet, the reason why I'm doing this is because I need change in my life. I was diagnosed December '09 with Hodgkin's Disease and I'm currently going through Chemotherapy to hopefully get rid of it, but all in all the SSD Win would push my i7 Gaming Power House past 5.9 Windows Experience Score in Windows 7.

Truthfully a win like this would be absolutely amazing and take a dreary situation and make it better.

Awwwwwww yeaahhhh! check-check it!

RAP!

Need an SSD for my rig so I'm bustin these rhymes
Money's tight so I bought my pieces one at a time
Playin' games on my Opteron is almost a crime
So I've saved every penny, every nickle and dime.
 
First I bought a case and a power supply
They sat collecting dust as some time went by
My next paycheck dissapeared with the bills
So I did some research until my pockets refilled.
 
Knowledge is power and I'm glad that I read
Cuz I was goin AMD but went Intel instead
Placed the order for my parts online at the Egg
And got a Core i7 with enabled HyperTheads.
 
When my roomate sees my rig, that fool's gunna cry
Cuz it's rockin the EVGA P-Five-Five
Core i7 860 Intel Inside
All it's missin is a (free!) Kingston Solid State Drive!
 
EVGA I'm beggin you, please gimmie a hand
With an SSD my rig could be the best in the land
All these other forum posts are uncreative and bland
This rap is like a diamond on a beach fulla sand!

EVGA fo' life sukkas! PEACE!

Props to the other rapper
Wish I'd posted these lyrics faster
Good luck to you sir, much respect
May the best man win that Kingston Tech

LMAO.  Entertaining approach.

I recently built a rig that is using the WD 1TB Green HDD as the hdd with Windows 7 (64bit) OS on it. The hdd uses less energy by having variable rotational speeds between 5400 RPM to 7200 RPM. With an SSD I will be able to use all of the components of the rig to their full potentials while using the green hdd as a backup drive conserving more energy and producing less heat. If I am able to test the performances of the EVGA mobo and the EVGA GTX 260 that I currently have in the rig, then I will be able to provide valuable feedback to help EVGA improve new products.

I have been a long time computer software enthusiast for 18 years and built my first computer 6 months ago. I was new to the hardware scene and researched for 3 months before finalizing the list of parts to purchase. On the list included four Western Digital drives intended for a RAID 0 configuration, as well as a fifth drive used for system image backups. Reviews and research artitcles raved the performance of RAID, so I got four drives. On paper, it was the perfect build. In reality, it was blown out of the water by a single SSD. Where my RAID config failed me, I know Kingston won't.

how would a ssd affect my computer experience?

Of course there would be some overall speed and benching gains. It would make me immensly happy to have that type technology to put to good use on all the games i play etc... but i think if i do get picked and i do win one id like mine given to Afterburner since he could def use it also and i kno it would put a smile on his face!!! So EVGA, if you pick me and i happen to win just send it straight to AB and let him kno it came from me, wmmills(massdeth) and wish him the best on my behalf!!! Just send me a email letting me know that you sent it thats all....   \m/

I would use my SSD as a operating system drive for faster boot times, opening programs, saving work, also video editing, and maybe a game or two just to see the difference in map load times. Ive read so much about how SSDs are faster and the fact that they dont have moving parts is a plus that means no ware on moving parts.

SSD will help my computer start up fast. With my regular hard drives it takes a while for Windows to post. With an SSD the improvement in boot time almost cut in half. Thats what SSD will do for me because I would install my Windows 7 to it.

An SSD would give me that last little push I need to get busy organising for a clean Windows7 install. I'd also love to see my mates faces when I restart my computer in 30 seconds

I have to say the specs of this SSD do look pretty good. A nice sized cache, fast access time and benchies show the read/write speed is actually about what the manufacturer claims (don't see that every day, lol).

While I'm clearly making this post to try and win an SSD, what I said above is sincere.

Its the only thing I don't have!

You wouldn't put hub caps on a Ferrari would you?

Please help me complete my monster!

In all honesty, I live in a 90 year old Seattle house. We don't have any cable outlets in any of our rooms, so my computer acts as the house DVR/Media Server for my roommates. While at the same time I use it for HTPC/Gaming/Folding. I do have plenty of storage(almost 5tb), but the problem is speed. I recently added 2 500gb HDD in raid0 thinking that would help, but the speed increase wasn't that great and I had issues running windows. So now I'm back to running this beast on a 1tb WD Caviar Black. Its a good hard drive, but not fast enough for what I need it to do. I really push my computer to the limits 24/7. I need that extra boost that mechanical drives can't give me. A SSD would let me run independently from my storage drives so I can game and fold while my roommates stream HD shows off my computer.

SSD would improve noise level, because there are no moving parts and the fact that Im really curious on how it performs against a good HDD. The faster loading and write speed should   help me in many different program/applications I run everyday when I work on my PC.

Like most of the people in this thread, I'm looking forward to quick boot times, and the general improvement in snappiness that is possible with an SSD. Just a couple of days ago I ordered a new setup for myself but did not include an SSD in the build solely because of the cost; I'm starting to rethink that decision because it would be a dramatic improvement over a standard mechanical harddrive. If I had an SSD it would be used as a boot/applications drive and then have a separate drive for storage. One way or another, I'm sure I will end up with an SSD, although I may have to wait for prices to drop a little and my bank account to recover from my recent system purchase.
