Get a large WD Black. Like 2 TB.

there are a lot of errors in that statement, and I would never stripe 5-7 drives as you are just asking for a failure, and highend SSDs are still going to be way faster in most cases, but the fact still remains that unless you are going to spend ~$500+ for a 128gb SSD, you really aren’t going to get enough of a performance improvement over a traditional hard drive to justify the price.
Every SSD I’ve ever seen in a computer could easily be beat by my old 20GB Maxtor PATA drive. Regardless, the max theoretical speed for the SATA2 bus that SSDs run on is 375MB/sec which is, under perfect conditions, around 3x faster. Not as fast as everyone implies…
