I am upgrading my computer. See my signature for the system components at this point. I have a FirePro V4800, Antec TruePerformer TP-750, and CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus shipping to me at this time. With this new system, I am now thinking of upgrading my older WD 200GB 7200rpm 8mb drive that i use for OS and applications. I will still keep my WD 1TB for storage of CAD files and materials, etc.I have read alot about the SSD and their unbelievable read speed. However, they are not so fast in the write catagory. The WD Velociraptor 10,000 rpm is a well-known solid contender for the OS drive. So can anyone shed some light on the better drive to use with CAD programs? I do 2D drafting & 3D modeling with Autocad Architecture 2011 and just starting to use Revit Architecture 2011.If the SSD is the better drive to go with (which is what I am leaning towards), should I be looking for a drive that is good at both read/write rather than a record setting read time?
