Im considering purchasing a small SSD as an upgrade for my pc so I can run my OS on the SSD and have all program files on my larger HDD.

My question is as this is very new technology is it stable yet, can I purchase with confidence that it will work properly? Also will it be compatible with my motherboard which is an Abit IP45 PRO XE?

This is the one i've settled on based on price, size and the frankly astonishing read/write times: OCZ Vertex Series 30GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive

I'm not going to buy one until they drop in price some more, assuming you have SATA2 on your mobo I see no reason why it wouldn't work, and again I see no reason why it wouldn't be very reliable, I'd have complete faith in using one.

Solid State Storage : Hard Drives : Components at cheap prices from Novatech.co.uk : Compon by Price they have some reviews on a few SSDs, espeically on the Samsungs.

They are good and reliable, but make sure you disable auto defragging in Vista, that kills the life of the drive, and it's solid state, no need to defrag.

The vertex series has stellar reviews. I see no fault with your choice, other than you decided not to buy me one .
