Thought I would update this thread.

It has now been a year since I installed an SSD as my boot drive. Mine is an Intel, but since then there are new ones with better controllers, SATA 6 speeds etc. Even so, I'm thrilled with the performance I get from mine. The best part is that, in one year, I have had zero BSOD. How much of that is Windows 7 64-bit and how much is the stability of the SSD drive, I do not know, but I'm not arguing with success. Plus, Windows boots in 15 seconds.

I run BIAB from the SSD, but my RealTracks are on another drive, a Western Digital 10,000 rpm traditional hard drive. When SSDs are inexpensive enough to buy one large enough for the RealTracks, I will put them on one.
