After 10 months experience with a 32 GB OCZ Vertex (of course
others might be better), and having to revert back to two
different drives... Going back to a Quantum Fireball on a slow
system and feeling the pain was no surprise. But then using my
Raptor on a fast system feels slow too. Waiting for the Windows
desktop to completely load makes it clear. An SSD drive is
definitely a noticeable improvement.

Sounds like SSDs are a good bet for booting, but how is the performance
when accessing a 300GB-2TB data (D:/) drive? I'd like to put Windows 7
on a 32-64GB SSD with a 300GB+ for other applications and data but how
much improvement would that give get you?

YES AFTER YOU INSTALL THE SSD DRIVE ALL OF YOUR DRIVES RUN FAST AS
THE SSD DRIVE SO PUT YOUR PROGRAMS ON THE BIG SLOW DRIVE BECAUSE THEY
WILL RUN VERY FAST

I use a 120gig OCZ SSD for Windows and programs along with a Seagate 1.5TB
and a Seagate 2TB drive for mass data storage.

Runs like a dream.
