Voted! 500 gigger. I prefer space over speed.

I am considering a couple ssd's for my next comp. Whats the use in having newegg credit if you dont buy stuff you dont need. Then I could have 2 computers so the wife will leave me alone, and QC 2010 I could let someone else use one.

I looked at them before, but cost is a big factor, I would go for it, if your gonna spend the money whats another $300.

I say if it is Intel or the latest OCZ get SSD.

If not, go Magnetic drive.

wait til they come down in price, SSD's are still pretty expensive, give it a year and you'll see a huge price drop.

So is having both an option?

Most gaming laptops offer 2 HD slots. I know a number of the ASUS gaming laptops do. I know Sager offers that on their laptops as well. If you can do both, then that's what I'd recommend.
