1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot Memory, Samsung, or other)?

I own a 60GB Kingston bought in May 2011.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?

Price is most important but performance is 2nd.

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?

Usually every 2 years.

4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)?

For laptops I buy a branded system, usually Dell, but for desktop I build them. I prefer to build computers.

5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance)

Performance is more important if the SSD is the only drive. I use a SSD/HDD combo so only the OS in on the SSD.

6. [Canadian residents only] What is 110 plus 15 divided by 5 minus 4?

Live in the US.

1. I am considering to buy one in the near future, and am leaning toward Crucial.

2. Reliability

3. Every 3 years.

4. I prefer to build my own.

5. It is extremely important.

1. No and no.

2. Price.

3. 5 years.

4. Buy a branded.

5. Not very.

1) I do not currently own SSD. Am considering for my next PC build. Have not yet narrowed vendors.
2) Considerations: Price and performance yes, but also long term reliability of the data and how the overall unit performs over time.
3) New system about 3 year cycle.
4) Up to now, I have always bought a major brand pre-built PC (Dell, Apple, Sony, etc). But for my next PC (this year) I am planning to build / assemble from parts myself.
5) Based on the articles I have read, I am thinking that an SSD for the boot up volume (OS and major applications) could be rather important for getting the best performance.
6) U.S. based. but I think the math still works the same .... Assuming a regular word sequential operation:
110+15 = 125, /5 = 25, -4 = 21.
But if you intend it to be overly complicated with multiplication and division taking precedence over additive, then it would be
110 + (15/5) - 4 = 110 + 3 - 4 = 109.

Thanks for the chance to speed my upgrade path...

1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot Memory, Samsung, or other)?
I own 3: two intels and one ocz. I am considering another purchase as well. It will likely be an Intel or Crucial SSD.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
Stability and reliability, then speed.

3. How often do you purchase a new PC (less than a 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, over 3 years)?
Once every couple years I upgrade parts or whole systems, depending on the architecture.

4. Do you prefer to build your own PC or buy a branded system (Build your own or Buy a branded system)?
Build my own desktops and servers, buy laptops.

5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance)
SSDs are just as important as processor and RAM. In some ways, due to the relative stagnation of platter drive performance over the last decade, an argument could easily be made that SSD performance (vs platter drive) has an even greater impact on system performance than most CPU upgrades.

6. [Canadian residents only] What is 110 plus 15 divided by 5 minus 4?
Not Canadian. Yet.

1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot Memory, Samsung, or other)?
