Hi Woody_Nickels

OT - But the value proposition for the next generation SSD drive are quite impressive.

Re: SSD Drives

I have been evaluating my next rebuild for the desktop PC. I am looking to use a 128GB SSD drive as the mian boot up drive A. The typical start-up w/ my Segate HD is 6 min and w/ the SSD drive I may be able to get it down to 20 sec!

I was quite surprised to see the drive under $100.00.

$99.99

At the very least, I am replacing all of my boot up drives w/ similar SSD drives and my next build will also have SSD technology.

The last time I researched these drives they were around $350 for similar GB.
