| Looking for a SSD for win7 install for my desktop PC
Just curious which brand, model and size of the SSD you guys would recommend for doing a windows 7 Ultimate OS install. This SSD will be used on a desktop tower PC.
Please kindly advise.

I'd go with smaller 2*OCZ Vertex serie and put them in raid0. (60*2)
Intel is great SSD, but too expensive on a per GB basis.
Or if you have the budget, OCZ is shipping its Z-drive... PCI-E bus SSD, blow away (by a big margin) any SATA SSD on market.

For desktops, HDD's are about to get a whole lot better. You might want to wait  | |

6.0 Gbit/s ?
what's so special about it? I thought that is the maximum transfer rate only.

SATA maxes out at 3 Gbps right now, but not only that, 6 adds some features that are useful to HDTV streaming, etc. You'll see

you'll need a new SATA6 capable mobo, no?
and it sounds like the OP already has a rig ready to go, so there really is no point in waiting, unless you're ready to spend the $$ for a brand new system

you can't keep up with technology....but it seems like Core2duo can run win7 smoothly, I think keeping i7 or i5 is fine

My Core2Duo runs Windows7 smoothly ... except that sometimes when I delete icons off the desktop the icons stay there and I can't delete them! Or when I'm running 64 bit Win7 it decides to FREEZE for no reason.
But yeah, for the most part, I think a lesser CPU can run Win7 better than it can run Vista.

Sata6 looks nice but i doubt my P5W DH mobo can support it

so if i was interested in building a nas system, or simply a sata-duplicator box, would it be worth it to wait in terms of price and performance?
when are they coming with drives bigger than 2tb so I can finally afford a couple... =(
