Currently have a 300gb Raptor that I'm using for benching. I'm also in the middle of building a small 24/7 rig which I still need to purchase a drive for. 24/7 build will be an MSI H57 paired up with an i5 670. Still shopping for a mini case...........

Not sure if I should move the Raptor over to the 24/7 rig and get a small SSD for benching or get a bigger SSD for the 24/7 rig and keep the Raptor for benching.

Guess my question is, how good are SSD's for flashing new OS every time I get new hardware to bench?

Also, can I use an SSD for OS and pair that up with an HHD for backup images?

Sorry for my HHD/SSD noobness and thank you for your time,

Hey OCM, I use three different ssd's for benching as well as a 150gb vrap. I would recommend the 60gb OCZ vertex 2 ssd,...great fast reliable drive.

Thanks for the input!

Is it really necessary to get 60gb hard drive for an os that that will use a maximum of 10-15gb with all necessary apps?

Would a 30gb or 40gb SSD be a better buy for the money for a benching only?

Thanks,

I have 2x60gb Vertex 2's and a 32gb Vertex 1

I have win7 x64 with all 3d benchies installed on the 32gb drive with plenty of room to spare they are virtually impossible to sell though when your done with it eventually.

Looks like I'll be getting an OCZ Vertex 2 SSD. Thanks to all!
