The original problem with running your OS of an SSD has been largely resolved with new controllers and TRIM support so go for a 120/128GB SSD using the Sandforce 1200 controller.

Your options with these specs are the OCZ Vertex 2, Corsair Force, GSkill Phoenix Pro, Crucial RealSSD and many more. They are all very similar products, but the important part is that they use the Sandforce controller which is the current leader in performance. They may quote slightly different speeds etc. but in reality the main difference will be in support of the product. They will be between $2-300US for a 120GB drive.

OCZ was one of the companies that worked fairly hard with SSD development initially and does have a good support history so if I was personally in the market I would probably pick up a Vertex 2 at the moment.

As soon as i saw this post i was happy i did buy the right SSD. Last friday i went to the store and was planning to buy a 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 so i bought it and builded it in. been playing some time this weekend and have to admit its really worth the buck. dalaran runs smooth/ much better as before. Instand loading times. With this SSD my system runs 5x wow better than the system of my roommate wich runs 1x wow in dalaran. Before on my old system it was visa versa. At first i dident believe it would boost my preformance this much since i tought my cpu/ram would be the bottleneck. but this ssd does wonders. You cant really mesure in FPS or things like that. But it just feels different.

This last weekend it was AV weekend on Grim Batol EU, A RL friend of mine is a good geared warrior tank so me and some other friends went AV with me 5x resto shaman. We did the rush tactic i could keep up prety much everyone with 5x chain heal. Its 95% an instand win.

Anyway to keep things short. these few first days have changed my boxing experiance. i had great fun and would recommend any boxer an SSD.

Srry for the bad english.

Thanks for all the replys and help,
