    That is a good deal. Also, SSD's are totally worth it. My computer boots in about 45 seconds....

    The ssd is awesome but be ready to do a fresh windows install. I bought the Samsung with norton ghost and dispite all my best efforts windows treated the ghosted drive as non genuine install and proceeded to throw a fit.

    And make sure when you're doing that fresh install ONLY THE SSD is plugged in. Unplug all other HDDs. If you don't, and you still have a version of Windows on one of them, you're going to run in to boot problems.

    I don't have windows installed on any drive in this apartment, so that shouldn't be an issue.;)

    and now before we go too far off topic of hard drives, if you are bored and need something to do with your old platter hard drives try this:

    while other places may claim that all topics end up derailed, we here in the borg have made it into an art form.
