Crucial M4 128GB. Yes, I may buy a new one in the future

Crucial, Corsair, Intel

2-3 years

1) Unfortunately, I'm not a current owner of an SSD, but I've been aching to upgrade my gaming notebook with one since I purchased it over a year ago.

2) The brands that I've read good reviews for are Intel, Crucial, Corsair, OCZ, and Samsung, so those are top on my list. My purchase would be based first on reliability, followed by performance. Sure, I would love a large capacity SSD, but as long as it holds the OS and essential programs I want better performance with, then I would be happy. I am a graphic design student and own an MSI gaming laptop with 2 HD bays. It would be awesome to slap an SSD in there and throw the OS and Adobe software on it for some speedy productivity! Okay, okay.. and maybe a few games too.

3) I don't purchase as often as I'd like, but when I do I try to make sure the specs are generous enough to accommodate me for 3-4 years.
