excellent deal miss, but for some reason my PC boots in around 60 sec with the WD BC, what really counts for me is when I game I enter the server amongst the first 5 people. I had once Kingston SSD Sata 2, but besides the fast boot ups and Win score not sure if its worth buying something while seeing people sort of complaining that the SSD are failing a lot. BTW prices are awesome, im sure some GHers will take advantage of this deal

It'll last you 10 years most likely. You'll buy a completely new system before it has any real problems probably.

And before people go on a rant about what I said: My primary job is testing and qualifying SSDs and HDDs for massive enterprise storage systems. SSDs are leaps and bounds ahead of where they were 3 years ago.

That said I think they latency between you and the server are going to be a bigger effect than your storage mechanism.

I've got three SSDs scattered through a few PCs, and the oldest of which is now 3 years old.  I don't think I've ever had a failure possibility.

I might grab a 500gb for my mac mini...
