The computer I multibox on is one I bought a few when SSD's had first come out. I payed the high price for the drive and and love it. I 'box 4 wow's at once with no problems at all. I couldnt tell you the brand. Best I can do is tell you that its an Alieware Laptop. Just thought you'd like to know 4 copies of Wow run just fine off the same drive for me. And Im sure signifigant progress has been made in SSD's since I bought mine.
This has my vote, based upon how wow loads textures and how textures cause "texture lag".Great ssd but.... if you have enough ram on your mother board and enough video ram on you CG, you dont need at all.
I test myself and i saw a huge difference between 512/1024 MB graphic card ( sapphir 4870x 512MB versus msi gtx 285 1GB) with i7+12GB RAM than my X4 ssd hardware raid 0 ( adaptec 2405 ) versus one velociraptor 300GB

I have an SSD drive. It's OK, but honestly, I didn't notice much difference. I think a well tuned system with a solid HD (velociraptors) will perform very close. Having enough RAM is the key to not making the HD a factor.
What I'm planning to do is get another 12G of RAM and just load wow into a RAM drive. I actually don't think this will matter that much, but 12G is pretty cheap, so what the hell.
No matter where you go, there you are.
