Which drive should my SSD be?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but studies have shown that gaming really doesn't beneift with the use of an SSD. Pagefile and maps may load faster, but I'm not talking from experience.

As for the iX25-V 40GB, I wouldn't recommend only 40GB for an OS. Although I have 2, My OS only uses 22+GB of the "80GB" array. But I only have Windows 7 Home, Office 2007, Norton Security Suite, Quicken, iTUnes, and a few other programs.

However, you do have 2 Spinponts, so you can have a data/media drive(s), as I also do. I "moved" all my Libraries to the other array: My Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos.

For the price, go ahead and try it. Let us know.

BUT BEFORE YOU DO, what OS do ou have? TRIM is part of Windows 7, and helps the drive "self-optimize." OS below 7 don't support TRIM, so you'd have to get "The Intel SSD Toolbox" for the drive to "self-optimize."

Also, since you have an AMD build, ACHI is not supported also (probably). You can do without ACHI, but it too helps SSDs.

There are "tweaks" you can do stay under 40GB, like moving the pagefile to an HDD, turn off Hibenate and System Recovery, etc. Let me know and I'll give you a link.

BTW: I'd go with the Intel X25-M 80GB, at twice the price of the V. Or look into OCZ Vertex 2 or OCZ Agility 2, each 60GB or so.
