Which SSD To Get?

[Macky]

Looking to get an SSD for my new PC and use it alongside my current hard drive. My problem is i'm not entirely sure what reliable SSDs there are and what size i'll actually need. I'm assuming i'll just install Windows 7 onto the SSD and use it as my primary drive right? And then install any commonly used programs like Photoshop on it and use my current hard drive to store files etc.

My current hard drive has Windows 7 on it, will they both work together even if they both have an OS on it? I don't want to have to reformat my current drive, i'd rather just plug my SSD in and carry on using the two together.

So yeah, any good reliable SSDs and does 60-80GB sound like enough?

SSD Intel 330, I'll go for at least 120GB, with system updates and drivers installed in the SSD I had less than 80GB left. Got one from amazon for around £109.

Last week My new rig was waiting 3 days for the 120GB 330 to be delivered so I switched to the 120GB 520 which was in stock and it was £5 cheaper.

Are you sure it was cheaper? Just checked now and the 520 is more expensive.

Thanks for all the input! Am I right in assuming I can just plug the SSD without needing to do anything to my exisitng hard drive right?
