First let me thank EaTCarbS, Ualaa, Ughmahedhurtz, and Catamer,

I had to be away for a couple of days and the four of you sure opened up a whole new perspective for me. Now I am looking for a good 64 GB ! I don't know about the symbolic links that EaTCarbs and Ualaa mentioned but I will look into it. And I really appreciated Ughmahedhurtz tip on partitioning the active sectors to 80% drive size. Would the same work if one decided to not even format 20% of the drive? What a great idea.
Do these SSDs go on sale regularly? I keep reading about people saying, "I got mine for $99. last week." Right now I am looking at, but I am completely open to suggestions, the Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAC064MAG-1G1 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148357

And lastly, I too am curious if Catamer's experience has been the experience of many?

Thanks again, I would not even be able to contemplate all of this seriously without all of you good folks to pitch in your real life expertise and opinions.
