I am getting ready to replace my system HDD with a SSD. I would like to have at least 100GB of storage. What drive would you use? Like to hear your opinions. Thanks for your help.

If it were me I would get two 60GB and RAID 0 them for 120GB total. Here is what I suggest: Hope this helps and good luck on what you decide!
i7 930 OC 4.21 EVGA E758 GSkill 12GB Evga GTX 780 SC 2x Kingston 240 Raid 0 2x Seagate 4TB

Do you want SATA 2 or 3?
For sata 2 then they're pretty much all about the same... I'd get an ocz or corsair
for sata 3, then corsair or crucial.

I'd like to implore you to hold off on buying a SSD for a little bit, as there is a bunch of 6Gb/s selection right around the corner. OCZ Vertex 3, Crucial C400 just to name a few. That way whenever you move up to a board with SATA III ports, you'll be all set to go

Funny because I was looking at that one. I like the idea about striping the 60GB drives but when I stripe two drives I like to have it mirrored also (RAID 0 +1) and with that being said I have no need in spending that kind of money. Good idea though Zero. Thanks for you input everyone.
