I have been hearing about solid state hard drives (not the hybrids, but solid state only), ~$200 for ~150GB. Some have said that their computers start up and finish loading in 10 seconds. :eek:

Before I jump in the pool, was hoping some people could share their experiences or even recommend a product. I was thinking about a 150GB solid state drive for Windows and other baseline software, while putting almost everything else on a secondary 1TB regular drive.

Any advice or comments would be helpful.

I would definitely go for sdd. It does boot very fast, less power usage and faster data access. If you have extra bucks go for it! Dont wait for too long!!!

Here for 120Gb $229 (3.5'') : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227593

Or less expensive for 60Gb $129 (2.5''): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227542
