    My laptop has a 64gb one which is enough for all the programs I want on it. Huge difference boots faster than my desktop now. For desktop I would really like 120ish, enough for windows and many programs/games. Though just the pure improvement in windows is big enough to make a noticeable difference with a smaller one I believe, most multi-player games load before other people on the server already so not really a need to install them on an ssd.

    128Gb M225, anything smaller would be a serious PITA.

    It's already a bit irritating having to backup steam content to put on my NAS.

    Waiting for a 64GB Kingston to arrive.

    Will be very happy to get that installed!

    Crucial M225 128GB. After 18 months, I still think it's one of the best upgrades I've ever bought.

    Started off with an OCZ Summit 60GB, then a OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB. Wanna upgrade to a Vertex 3 120GB but spent a lot on my DSLR.

    Yeah, should have made it clearer in that I feel it's probably the best purchase I've made since my first 3DFX card, but the size is still a pain.

    I don't have one, but the MINIMUM I am looking at is 120GB. In other words: Windows + programs + free space for proper system operation, windows updates etc... and 2-3 projects, and possibly a game or two, so that I can actually see the benefit of my SSD in action in games.

    mushkin callisto deluxe 60gb - windows 7 / program files;
    intel x-18m g1 80gb - /users

    i have a server for large files, and i run lean so the small drives are no bother to me. i have maybe a total of 60gb between the two disks. i only keep installed what i use regularly, and only 1-2 games at any time or else i never finish them.

    60Gb Samsung drive in my NC10 Netbook, means the only moving part in it is the fan, so it makes no noise at all.
    2*80GB Intel X25's in Raid in my main rig, POWER!!!!! Sorry, a little too excited

    16 gb in my laptop, I have win 7 installed with microsoft office suite and that is about all i can do with it. Really wish it had a little larger drive.

    2x 128Gb C300 for my gaming rig. One of the best investments I have ever made. Steam is fast and boot times are great. I couldn't imagine being set up like I am with less than 128Gb the second drive just makes things roomy.

    Vertex 2E 120. Again as others have said ... best purchase i ever made as an upgrade. Took me a looooong time to justify the cash but belive the hype! Love it, just want a Vertex 3 now :D

    Currently have a 64 GB C300. I can tell that it won't be long until a Vertex 3 makes an appearance...
