Intel doesn't have 60GB SSDs.

Their 80GB SSD is at RM549. Is this still too much? What about Kingston V 100 64GB at RM379 at Viewnet? If this is still too much, then you might need to buy a second hand SSD or forget about getting an SSD this year.

60 or 80gb also can cost me a bomb. So let say your desktop got HDD and you bought new SSD and you put into your desktop. So what files you normally transfer to your SSD?
For me I will 1st transfer my games tongue.gif I wanna let it load faster d: sometimes games loading not-so-fast-as-i-expected. D:

If your primary use case is games and you seem to have a tight budget, then I strongly recommend that you do not buy an SSD. People who work with hundreds or thousands of small files, like office workers, programmers or even photographers will feel the benefit. In other words, SSDs are good for work. But pure gamers will be underwhelmed as most of your performance bottleneck are on the CPU and GPU, as game designers optimise their games to avoid the HDDs (and by extension SSDs) as much as possible.

If you have spare cash, I would recommend getting a cheap SSD because it is an excellent overall performer for any HDD/SSD task you can throw at it. But since you don't, it would be better for you to save your money and wait for the SSD prices to come down to you. It should drop by 50% in another year or two.
The "best" have two camps. One is the performance camp and the other is the capacity camp. A lot of people here would be in the performance camp, buying Vertex 3 and the like. You pay a lot of money for a lot of performance for a given capacity. The capacity camp, prefers to buy cost effective SSDs. Since any SSDs are superior to any HDDs in performance, you could just buy the cheapest SSD for a given capacity and be highly amazed (if you're a first timer) for good reason.
Like that only I get it to transfer my RAW files. tongue.gif
