Hello Arfer mate if you want my advice get a SSD for the OS and a nice quick boot leave the larger drives for data storage - well that is what I have done

If you do go SSD then make sure you set it up properly with this. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/113967-ssd-alignment.html < I use this for all drives I in any case

thanks for the reply
i wont be going SSD at present i cant justify the high price just for a shorter startup time etc
when the price drops i might think about it thanks for your input tho
