I'll never go back to mechanical as an OS/application drive just for the desktop performance of SSD alone.

I hear you...I've got to "work" with mech HDD stations at the college...waiting 5-15 seconds for something I do in inventor/revit/etc to actually apply is killing me!

Last time I checked all internet browsers cache a crap load of data to their temp file. I always recommend moving it to a HDD. Just a waste of write cycles.

Would love to know Chrome does things differently, but TBH, I doubt it.

Well the feature was not included in the first few versions of Chrome - the devs have mentioned that it will be in one of the next versions. For now you just have to copy a short string into the icon for chrome that changes the directory for caching. It's easy enough but not ideal since it took me some searching to figure out.

Meh, as long as you're on 7 or you're diligent enough to keep up with the housework in Vista and XP, most SSD's should last anyone long enough before they've moved onto the next thing.

Maybe...maybe not. Just because you buy the next great thing in 2 yrs time doesnt mean you will just throw your "old and slow" ssd in the garbage. They add life to older systems.
So why waste cell life if you don't have to?
