I didnt even realise you could get Solid State drives big enough to actually use as a normal hard drive until a few minutes ago when I saw that Klienma was using one for his Windows 7 PC but now that I have discovered this... I want one!
But then I only want one because they are apparently a lot quicker than your standard hard drive. However, on the Crucial website it states that their SSD drives have a transfer rate of up to 200 MB/sec but I thought normal hard drives had a transfer rate of much higher than that?

So I have a couple of questions:
1. Is an SSD drive really going to be much/any faster than my 10,000 RPM SATA hard drive?
2. Do you need any special controller or connectors to use an SSD drive or will just a normal SATA cable do the job? Also, what about Windows, does that require special drivers (like you do for a RAID hard drive setup) ?
3. I'm sure I had another question but I've forgotten it now...

Thanks
