Its not often you see one of the consistently best rated bits of hardware scaled down in price to the level of lesser rated competitors. That 120GB for $250 seems a steal compared to pricing other SSD's!

Big mistake.

You'll be crying for more when you start installing applications that DEMAND a C: installation location and even more so when you simply install to that drive by convenience and instinct.

Practicality dictates that a mimimum of 128GB is what most will need if avid computer users.

you just have to know how to point to installations in the registry. there are a very few programs that demand they be installed on the Windows Root,usually because there's a windows file or something they need on root which can be copied to any drive.

some program's don't even need to be registered at all.

I've installed Just Cause 2 to a dvd, just plop it in and play.

The 40 gig prices at $100 and the 80 gig prices at $200 have been like this for six months. I'm not sure what this article is even about.
