Is switching to an SSD drive worth it?

[huntersupply]

Hello
I've been thinking about switch out my old harddrive for an SSD drive. I don't need a TB of storage so I am willing to sacrifice space for speed.

While doing some research on SSD drives, it seems it can be a little bit complicated. I've read about needing to update your bios, then doing updates to the firmwire to the SSD drive, etc...

I would like to be able to install the drive once and be done with the process. I have my own business and do not want to get involved with a never ending project.

Does anyone have any opinions on switching to an SSD drive??

When switching drives in general is it easiest to install the drive as a slave, clone the old to the new and then switch them out?

I haven't played around with hardware in years and I am probably way out of date on my thinking.

Thanks for any input!

Check out the OCZ vertex series support forums.. loads of info on setting up SSD's Cloning the drives works, but you need a clone program that will keep the SSD partition allignment; the SSD's need partition alignment to work at peak performance.
