Every one should have an SSD at least once in a lifetime to experience a good performance, especially me.

SSD's Make Little Things Like Boot Up Or Small Or Really Any Application So Much Faster & I Would Use It As A Debian Boot Disk Instead Of "Dual Booting"

I am a suffering college student with no money to spend on parts and I have been (painfully) slowly building a pc as spendable money comes around and this would be great for the boot disk!

Considering how cheap ssd's are nowadays, there's no real reason not to have one at least for your boot drive.

"Graphics and gameplay are not mutually exclusive."


"Nvidia, AMD, Intel, or whatever company out there has only one end goal and that is PROFIT.


If you think these companies exist for any other reason you're gonna be disappointed my dear. CAVEAT EMPTOR"

Boot with an SSD is the only way to go. Boot speed in Windows 10 is less than 25 seconds, updates and installs are quick, and drive maintenance is low. One of these New Apacer SSDs would be a great addition to my rig.

We as a tech society have almost already gotten rid of cd drives or at least the need for them because everything is digital that is kind of the same movement SSDs have made on storage.  People do not buy them most of the time because either prices do not reflect mechanical hard drives or they do not understand the potential of an SSD.  I think this issue is due to marketing really because you can go buy a 4tb and have the storage and its cheaper but companies do not put out information that an SSD is the better way to go.

I have just upgraded from my i5 2400 with GTX550ti to an i5 6600k and GTX 970. Sadly I ran out of money for HDDs so I've reused all my old Toshiba 500GB 7200RPM For storage. An SSD would be a very huge and welcome addition to this upgrade. :P

I have a 480GB SSD and a 2TB HDD, perhaps this SSD would give me a "mass storage drive" and is faster than my Sandisk Ultra 2 I picked up for $110.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

Everyone should have an SSD in order to have maximum responsiveness. I need the SSD to replace me recently failed 120gb boot drive on my system.

I have been given an old laptop for school, it has a 160gb HDD with bad sectors. Otherwise it's decent. I'd really like to get it up and running so I can use it to program in my free period. I built a PC for a friend and I currently have a 120gb ssd in my main rig which is great, I told him he should get an ssd and he fought me every meter of the way, sayings things like "I don't need my pc to boot up fast". Once I convinced him to get one, he came up to me and said "wow, that is amazing, ssd's are great" it's great when you're right!

Would love an SSD in my system, my hard drive has been getting slow after a couple years and 600 gb of files to sort through, I cannot wait for the thing to boot daily anymore.

FX-8350, 8GB of 'AMD' memory, a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard, a GTX 650 ti 1GB and a Corsair HX 650, the best 900CAD could get in early 2012  lol jk

I want a new ssd because our family's main computer has a seven year old hard drive in it that is slower than crap and a blazing fast ssd would be awesome!

It'd be nice to have an SSD for my operating system and primary programs. I've been replacing components in my Fränken-PC and an SSD would be perfect for my OS, since i've been using 8.1, Windows 10 is out now, 8.1 is a pain, and this would mean I just need to replace my audio equipment.

EDIT: Not everyone needs and SSD, as it depends on what you're using the PC for. Some things don't need the speed, and sometimes, cheaper is in fact better, but the convenience of Solid State drives is always a great luxury.

Heyoo,

So a friend of me just became single, and my friendu's pc sucks, http://prntscr.com/a065sh . This friendu of mine is studying at an e-sports high school in Norway, and I'd love to surprise my friendu with an PC Upgrade, I've already sent her ram, SSD and GPU left. I'd love to make my friendu happy again. My friendu's happiness >

 

If I win, I'll provide proof of me provinding an 950 / 960 to my friendu aswell as to potential giveaway price that I might win. It would mean alot for us both.

 

I wish you all the best of luck, may the force be with you. Stay awesome.

I think SSDs should be a Standard because no one should have to look at Windows loading up

I am a broke engineering student who's whole school career is dependent on my laptop. I never had a fancy laptop before but my previous one stopped working. I got a sweet thinkpad t420 off kijiji for $280 which was a killer deal in my area and it really does need the extra speed an ssd provides. Without an ssd, I definitely believe the additional 5-10seconds will hinder productivity by giving the brain a rest. I have been saving up for a 120gb ssd for $50 but I can't even spare that in my current situation although I do work part time

It's 2015. I think everyone should have an SSD at least as an OS boot drive with how far the newest pre-built laptops and desktops are ahead in that department. It's gotten cheap to the point where you could get a 128GB drive for around 40 bucks, which is just insane considering how short of a time it has been. It compensates for the lack of speed increase from current processors and graphics cards, which gives them time to work on breakthroughs to catch up.

The speed boost in startup and loading times can make all the difference, especially with how quickly technology is moving fast these days.
