Re: Buy an SSD now, or wait?

[Christopher Svanefalk <christopher.svanefalk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds good Michael, but with the pace the technology and the market is advancing right now, don't you think it will give much better returns to wait at least another year with buying one? Not to wait forever, but just a bit more to let the technology benefit from all the advancement that is likely to come now that SSDs are approaching mainstream status...after that, I think additional developments will offer marginal improvements.

harddrives are just too expensive.

The cheapest SSDs are about $1.50 per gig now. Very cheap compared to a year ago. Even cheap SSDs are better than an HDD. All you need is enough room to run your root partition on so the 60 to 80 gig models are plenty. A HDD is obviously still more cost-effective to store videos, music, etc., and you can still use a HDD as your home directory.

I am quite satisfied with my
7200rmp SATA disks.

You will kick yourself once you finally get an SSD for not getting one sooner.
