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?

You are right. I got a OCZ Vertex 2 drive and am so happy with it. Amazingly fast.
