[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1519738, member: 56379"] SSD's are mainly great for: - faster computer boot times - faster saving of files - faster retrieving of files As far as the cost/gigabyte of storage...well that is up to the individual user. 128-256gig SSD's are probably the best value at the moment...but that's still going to be much more expensive (cost/gigabyte) than traditional HD's. If you absolutely NEED more than 256gig of storage...larger SSD's can get very expensive. - Nick p.s. Here's a You-Tube video of a bootup time comparison with a Mac-Mini (before & after SSD install). The person had a ram upgrade as well.
