Depends on what SSD you're comparing it to. I'd suggest making a new thread about it in the Computer Memory and Hard Drives section.

A velociraptor is pretty much as close as you can get to an SSD without dropping hundreds of dollars. An SSD would be faster than a velociraptor as it has no moving parts unlike a hard drive.

Velociraptors are a waste of money IMO(well, other than the 150GB @ $139.99, which isnt a terrible deal), at that point you may as well get a 15k rpm SAS enterprise level drive.

Intel x25-m $200

OCZ Vertex 2 120GB $260
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...cm_re=ocz_vertex_2_120-_-20-227-551-_-Product
Makes me wonder if the next generation drives are coming out soon. I haven't seen any vertex/intel drives on discount in 6 or so months now. I mean the leaked roadmap said Intel was going to have 25nm drives out in Q4 but nothing seems to be floating around about them.

Actually thats not correct
Read the box (zoom in)
90day Warranty
BFG no longer accepts RMA on any products, hence why there is no warranty.

760 for Less than £150
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=6
Most of the processors here are good value. Overclockers generally do fairly cheap component deals, the G6950 isn't on special offer at the moment and its still only £64
