    What SSDs are you using?
    Currently I have a Crucial M4 64 GB, pretty damn quick, but I'm looking to upgrade. Interested to see what you are running, since the prices have dropped recently and now 120/240 GB is affordable!

    So what are you using?

    SanDisk Extreme 120 GB. I haven't tried it out yet though, but the spec sounds nice.

    I just bought a Kingston Hyperx 120gb 3k SSD for £65 from scan. This is my first SSD and am waiting for it to arrive tomorrow. It got good reviews (faster than Crucial m4) and works out at nearly 50p per gigabyte.

    Crucial M4 128GB.

    Seems fast as anything, but I have nothing to compare it too other than HDDs really.

    OCZ Vertex 3 (240GB).

    Was £170 from Scan, probably one of the best cost/performance upgrades I've ever made, love it!

    Scan has had a deal on this week, £65 for a hyperx SSD. Not the best SSD but for that price you can't go wrong. But I don't have an SSD yet.

    Are you referring to an external hard drive or just one from a laptop or desktop?

    I really would like an ssd external hard drive

    Anyway, I'm rolling an 2 OCZ Vertex 4s in RAID 0; because I'm one of those bad-asses people keep talking about.

    Also; you might like this article (it came up first on google so you've probably seen it already)

    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...view,3194.html

    There's no mention of the OCZ Vertex 4s though; which will probably smoke everything else in their price range.
