    WD 500GB SSD, your next upgrade???

    I can honestly say that I have NEVRER experienced a problem with any WD SSD, regardless of size, format, architecture, etc, and I've put a lot of them in customer systems. This drive is a whole lot faster than [if you have one] an HDD, and definitely more reliable, as there are no moving parts. If you already have the appropriate, for what your doing, amount of RAN...Installing an SSD is your next upgrade step! BTW, think about opting for a bigger than current-size drive, you may need the space in the future and not that much more costly! If you're comfortable working around the innards of your 'puter, you should be able to do it yourself, if not, call your favorite 'Puter Tech
