Does it matter what type of SSD

[Guest]

Looking on Newegg for an SSD card like 1-50gb just for my OS would that be alright since OS isnt that much and just use a regular HDD for all my information and games? does it even matter what type of SSD card i got for example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227940, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148579, or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-171-667&IsVirtualParent=1? Never used an SSD card before so that is why i am here lol. Not planning on spending like $100 for an ssd card until i can afford one with my own money and actually upgrade my system to a full tower and that blah blah blah.

I wouldn't get the SanDisk ReadyCache.
It's designed to be used as a cache drive; to give "SSD-Like" performance to a HDD with an O/S installed on it.

The Crucial V4 is a SATA 2 (3Gb/s) drive. SATA 2 SSDs are "old tech".
SATA 3 (6Gb/s) SSDs have better firmware, are more reliable, will last longer, and have better Read/Write performance; even if you are only going to connect them to a motherboard that has only SATA 2 ports.

Also, you really need an SSD with a minimum of 64GB if you're going to be using it as an O/S drive.
A Windows install only takes 19-20GB but if you have a 32GB SATA 2 SSD as your O/S drive I don't think you're going to be to thrilled about its performance.

Here's the least expensive 64GB SATA 3 SSD on Newegg.com: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211718

ok ty this was another one i was looking at i believe also. so you would just install the OS on the SSD and then just use all ur data u have on the HDD right? now what would be better getting a 64GB SSD for OS then getting another SSD for gaming programs lets say World of Warcraft and i can instal all that stuff on the other SSD lets say 240Gb SSD would that it make it load faster and would it also work? if this is kind of confusing please let me know and i could try and explain it a little better.

Correct

A SSD for gaming would only improve game load and level load times. To improve game play and FPS you would have to upgrade your graphics card.

Yes, a GTX 680 would be much better and improve gaming.
