Jeez, I paid $500 for my first 120gb SSD. It was the most impactful piece of hardware since the GPU.
First SSD that I bought was like $200 for 238 GB on SATA. It's actually still working, albeit showing it's age (some seemingly minor SMART errors and weird slowdowns) with allegedly 2,118 GB bytes written.
I do wonder if the 2,118 GB is some sort of error in ADATA's atrocious SSD management tool, I feel like I've written way way more.
My 128gb OCZ Vertex 3 is still working.
My 120gb from 2012 is still kicking. My newest build had sata drive cages, so I threw it in.
