I was wondering....

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

About 5 years ago I needed a Windows box for business.  I took an old i5 
which had 16G of RAM and added a !T Samsung SSD.  It was pricy.  I 
recalling spending $300 for that SSD.  Well worth it.  It came with a 5 
year warrantee.  I expect it might last at least 10 years or more.

SSDs are a lot cheaper now.

All of my boxes run SSD except my wife's computer.  It is painful to 
boot her computer.
