Anthony,
OK. I will think about this. As I mentioned, I know not of SSD (yet).

I put apps and os on ssd. All data and user space goes on hard drive. I do a
fresh backup of the is/apps drive after getting it all installed making sure
that my docs and users are moved to the d drive. That way, if you do a restore
everything is in the right place.

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.

With an SSD, the idea is to get the benefit of the fast speed to load your

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,

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
