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

I'm not from Canada.....the other side of the ocean.... but anyway, assuming words priority rather algebra rules (110+15)/5 - 4 = 21 !
applying algebra rules 110 + 15/5 -4 = 109

2. Price is the most important factor

3. I buy a new pc every 2 years on average

4. I build my own desktops and buy notebooks

1- I haven't a SSD but I'm planning on purchasing one. I'm thinking in an Intel or Kingston SSD
2- Price and Performance

4- Both of them, I have two notebooks and one home PC builded by me
5- I think that is very important.

well I just had a osz sad drive fail, no reason other than its unstable technology for data integrity I like sad for the spped but I will never trust it as a data storage device rather it is good for access speed..IE for OS and large file editing and access...but mirror the sad so its fast but reliable..
I lost only a days worth of data....now all sad are mirrored to spinning drives...I can't send the drive in for testing as it had unencrypted company data and IP data....I think I'm done with osz....maybe bad one but can't risk that kind of loss...

1. No and maybe Intel.

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 was considering the Samsung 830, 256GB, since my laptop is limited to 7mm drives, or the Crucial M4 256GB, or the Intel 320 Series, I don't currently own a SSD.
2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD (price, performance, brand, other)?
The most important consideration always comes down to price, and next to that is reliability.

I purchase a new PC every 2 years, I'm waiting for the T430s to arrive in the mail :).

I always build my own PCs, for laptops obviously it's branded. 
5. How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? (extremely important, pretty important, Not very important, no impact on performance)
It is pretty important, but is not a complete necessity. 
6. [Canadian residents only] What is 110 plus 15 divided by 5 minus 4?
109

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)?

 

No, I do not. However, I was shortlisting Intel, OCZ, Corsair, and Samsung, looking for a good deal.

 

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

 

Since I heard so many horror stories of SSD suddenly dying, brand and the reliability associated with it are my most important consideration. Performance & price are the next set of considerations.

 

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

 

My wife got me a new one this year; I usually try to keep a PC around for 3-4 years.

 

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

 

I buy branded system...I would love to build mine, but I simply do not have the time, being a father of 2 very active young boys.

 

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

 

This is probably the most important one, period. The bottleneck posed by storage medium is considerable. With SSD, that goes away =)

 

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

 

Sigh...I am a Canadian...why oh why must we do these things, eh? The question is 110+15/5-4. So the answer is 109.

it's Canadian contest rules (law)
Good luck

cheers ...
