Like many other enthusiasts or consumers the price of an SSD has been too high, but I finally gave in despite all of the wonderful problems associated with die changes. As my back to school present, I just bought myself a wonderful gift... a Patriot 120GB Pyro SSD. Now I know that my laptop isn't SATA 3, it is SATA 2, but who cares... it'll be nice for a VM to write to disk really fast or have fast boots.

Thoughts so far...
