That looks fine. I chose a drive with 160, and it was about six times that price! Amazing how prices have fallen. Today I saw an ad for a ten year warranty on an SSD, so concerns about reliability have lessened as well (though mine is over two years old, and still runs great).

I have the SSD as my boot drive, and install all applications to it. I keep data on another traditional hard drive. BIAB is the exception: I keep the BIAB data (songs)on the SSD in the /BB folder on the SSD. I just am careful to back up the songs to another drive (and a few other places).

Manning is building new, but Bob, if you are replacing a boot drive, you will need to turn off Defrag in Windows 7 or 8 for the new SSD drive. Very important.
