also, it's not a MUST DO THIS IMMEDIATELY thing..... you can use it for AGES with everything on the SSD, find that you are completely happy with the SSD and OS and system stability, then eventually decide to format/wipe the 320 and only move the USERS and TEMP files then........ It's really no biggy.

Don't rush it. is the bottom line

It was R1537 Incl. VAT. One of Denis' suppliers had Vertex III's on special for a few days. Unfortunately they are no longer available at that price.

Right now I can get Corsair Force GT's in the same capacity (120GB) for about R2000, which offers pretty much the same performance. But it's obviously quite a bit more expensive.

Nice find Phats. I should get the latest Frontosa pricelist and see if the Corsair prices have dropped at all. Seems that SSD's are getting cheaper :woot:
