Not as much in a desktop where 3.5 drives are very good performers.On a side note, my Vertex is not silent. And most of his tips were for their shitty line of jmicron SSD's.There is a distinct advantage in using an SSD in a laptop. "Tony" on those forums is one of the biggest Witch Doctors I have ever seen on the internet. Opening Adobe apps is at least twice as fast.I also don't pay attention to any of those stupid tweaking guides on OCZ forums, except for turning off auto defrag in Vista. In my D420 the difference is comparable to a 7200RPM drive, but it did replace a 4800RPM drive so the improvement is substantial.In my desktop, it replaced a 300GB velociraptor and the difference was marginal, but very noticable for certain things. I also have an SSD in a Latitude D420.In my Macbook, it replaced a 320GB 7200RPM WD Black drive and the difference was phenomenal. Ive got an x25m in a Macbook and a 120GB Vertex in my Vista i7 desktop now. In addition, if I've missed a lower-priced Samsung OEM with comparable performance, please list them with linkage to the vendor's product page. The Summit is not being listed with any of the Usual Sources despite being advertised as available in March '09.At the moment I have the following choices:OCZ Apex Series OCZSSD2-1APX60G (has a steep MIR)OCZ Core Series V2 OCZSSD2-2C60GG.SKILL FM-25S2S-64GB If you have direct experience with a desktop (not laptop) build using any of these parts I'd appreciate your thoughts. However, the Vertex also outside the budget. Capacity requirment is 60GB or greater.I'd like to get an Intel X25-M 80GB, but that's outside the budget.Right now, I'm looking at the less expensive Samsung OEMed SSDs by G.Skill and OCZ.I'd like to get a non-J-Micron controllered part like the OCZ Vertex or OCZ Summit. I've got a build coming together with an SSD.Budget is about US$150 for the part.
