Help with another SSD Decision

[VonBlade]

Hi guys. I know you all rave about the benefit of moving to SSDs so I thought I'd pick your brains.

There are only two choices available and you have to pick one. A slight caveat being that I come from the "please rewind the tape" days and so HDs still feel snappy to me.

Choice 1) Samsung Spinpoint 1TB + GTX275 (for SLI) or

Choice 2) OCZ Summit 120GB

Naturally you've all raved so much that I lean towards option 2. But because I feel HDs are still quick, this PC would need to last for a few years (hence the SLI) and that I always have a ton of stuff installed (hence the 1TB) I am doubtful that the speed increase, for such a mad price, would be worth the loss in eye-candy and sheer capacity that option 1 offers.

Advice gratefully received. Unless anyone has a spare SSD they want to sell really cheaply, in which case pick the magical option 3 of SLI+SSD

I have an OCZ Summit, was previously running 2x velociraptors in RAID 0 (which are said to be about the fastes HDD's on the market) and my OCZ pawns them my system boots near instantly everything I do is so fast and snappy I was very skeptical but I would nevr by another HDD for my O.S!!!!

whats wrong with the crucial m225 ssd's ?

they are cheaper, as fast as vertex, and have a 5yr warranty

I'd go with the F3 and 275 in all honesty, not from a speed point of view, but then at least you're not witout a computer if one 275 goes down, and the F3 should speed it up a little
