SSDs versus hds?
Comments

I too use an ssd for my op and a conventional disk for my data. The ssd only has a 125GB capacity but that is more than enough to hold my dual boot Win7/Winxp plus the hundreds of other software apps I have installed. It is waay faster than my old system which had no ssds.
I also do a load of video encoding and as this involves very intensive sessions of data manipulation, I suspect this would get a tremendous speed boost if I had stored them on my SSD but I am wary of using up too much of the drives read/write cycles so I have chosen not to.
That's my plan as well, to use an ssd for the operating system and software, but keep my data, for the most part, on a conventional HDD.0
