In response to "kilbo, most 2nd gen SSD hard drives (i.e. almost anything you find at Newegg these days) are reliable, but you're looking at about $100 for 32Gb." by Mop

I'm looking at the WD Black. Seems to score almost as good as the Raptors for $60 for 500GB

I just really liked the idea of SSD but $100 is probably too much

Responses:

for a system drive, Black should be great. (I use Green in my NAS, though) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:20 3
- WD black has a 5yr warrant, greens only have 3yrs (if I remember right). -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 13:20 2
  - And I think greens are 5400 instead of 7200 -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 13:40 1
    - Greens are variable RPM, that's what makes them green. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:42
