Grant, I have built four machines now with 120 GB SSDs (mostly OCZ
Vertex 3, which were running about $80 when I bought them). I use
them for the boot partition (C:) only. I have My Documents, etc. on
the magnetic drive, as well as most of my program installations.
So far, no problems. The oldest is a year old. Boot time is pretty fast.
