What size is your SSD and what's on it? Finally got one for the first time: Corsair Force Series GT 120 GB for $88 after rebate, impossible to turn that down.
Since space is a premium on these things, I'm curious what people keep on it besides the OS? I'm gonna put Photoshop, Office and various small crap. Games, I guess? Only playing Civ V Gods & Kings now, nothing else. I've got other HDDs for storage. | My System Specs |

I have a 120 Gb Corsair Force III SSD and it has plenty of room for all my applications, while all my data is saved on a HDD. However, I am not a gamer so I am not familiar with how much space games require. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Customized build from CyberPower OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP 1 CPU Intel i5 2500k Motherboard Asus P8P67 Deluxe Memory 8 gigabytes Corsair PC3-12800 DDR3 Graphics Card EVGA GeForce GTX 460 superclocked Sound Card Integrated Monitor(s) Displays ViewSonic 23" LCD Screen Resolution 1980 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech USB Mouse Microsoft 3 button PSU Coolermaster 1000 watt modular Case Coolermaster HAF X full tower Cooling Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus Hard Drives 120 Gb Samsung 840 Pro SSD

The other 7 regular hard drives are media storage. Have you used the crucial clone software or have you just reinstalled your OS on the SSD. Im interested in buying one of these drives and want to know if cloning the OS works well...is it as fast as crucial state.

I have an OCZ Vertex 3 60 GB (for half a year now)
I am using it for Windows and all my programs as well as StarCraft 2 (all my other games are on a regular HDD, although I wish I had a 240 GB SSD for all my Games).
I saved a lot of space by using a 8 GB RAM-Disk (gt 16 GB total) and limiting pagefile on the SSD to 100mb. Also disabled all kinds of copies (only ever keep the latest backup file and so on), so even with all programs that I use + SC2 + Windows I still have 15 GB of 55 GB free.
But my next thing to upgrade will either be a 240GB SSD for my games (as indicated above) or a ~120GB SSD for my laptop for university. I hate how slow that thing boots even though it has 8 GB of RAM, yet in comparison it seems to take forever for everything
