Im looking to get a SSD for my desktop to go with a normal 1 tb drive that i use for moves and games. The SSD would be for windows and a few other small apps.
 
A 60GB solid state drive is more than sufficient for Windows 7 and a few applications.

I have installed Windows 7 Pro 64 on two solid state drives. After downloading and installing all the Microsoft updates, patches, and fixes the total space used was about 21GB each. A few space saving tweaks could reduce it by a couple of gigs. I also installed all of my software applications. They used considerably less space than Windows.
