Steve,
Understand. But still do not see the benefit of loading apps on the SSD.
Apps get updated over time; like, bunch of extra read/write.
I can accept this read/write business with an OS over time.
Adding the apps seems like extra work for the SSD. (?)
Admit that I am still studying SSD. Sorry.

Steve,
Why do you put your apps on the same drive as the OS? I put my apps
on another
partition.
Yes, I'd guess a 64GB SSD would work fine for the OS boot drive.
Best,
Duncan

I had a little weirdness the other day on my main system. Started
to boot it, ran around to get ready for work, came back and the
system was locked at the pulsing Windows logo, actually that was the
screen, but the logo was gone. Hit cntrl-alt-del and the system
restarted. I didn't quite look at it, but it looked like the system
did not detect the boot drive. It gave me the 'Boot drive not
found, insert disk" message. I turned off power, and reseated all
the drive cables, then had more to do to get ready for work, came
back and there was a message about how the system couldn't boot,
press this button and it'll try to fix it. Hit the button, went off
for breakfast. Came back and since that time, every boot has been
successful.
Have no clue as to what was wrong, but I'm figuring it's time to
change the boot drive, so I'm thinking SSD. All I need is enough
room for the operating system and applications, so I'm betting that
a 64GB is big enough? Then, of course, which brand is a good one to
get? I was looking at the Corsair 64GB Newegg has for just over
$100. It's rated 5 eggs. Good One?
Thanks...Steve
