Anyone have any yet? Is the difference massively noticeable?

OCZSSD2-1VTX30G OCZ Vertex Series 30GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive The OCZ Vertex Series delivers the performance and reliability of SSDs with more performance : novatech.co.uk

I'd quite like this one tbh... anyone got an opinion on whether the expenditure would be worth it?

A lot of inconclusive research was done on it. The verdict was usually "wait for future analysis to determine the results with accuracy".

"Vertex Series SSDs have an excellent 1.5 million hour mean time before failure (MTBF) ensuring peace of mind over the long term."

Haha dude SSDs are definitely worth it.. I have a corsair P128 and windows loads so quick its unbelievable.

However if your gonna make it your boot drive id suggest something bigger... maybe 60 or 80 GB? My SSD has 128GB and youll be surprised how quickly the space goes

i can't see i'd put ANYTHING except the very vital stuff - windows, cod4, office, adobe master suite.

Yah most of my games run off of a 7200 RPM 1TB HDD... Honestly idk if youll be able to put anything other than windows on a 30GB drive... maybe cod 4 but not the whole Adobe Master Suite... you can save those docs on the SSD but the programs would take up too much room me thinks
