Rin mentioned that the SSD's get slower with time due to "the number of 
writes that slowly damage the memory over time". I didn't want to get in 
a situation like I had three computers ago. I got a custom built job 
that came with two IBM "Deathstars" both of which failed. My bad for not 
doing the research then. I do hold on to my systems for a goodly amount 
of time, so reliability and longevity are important. The only thing I've 
ever had failed were disk drives, two IBM's and a Seagate

I am not familiar with Intel Smart Response, but will familiarize myself 
with it before any ordering takes place.

I have confidence in the builder and they will tell me what their 
experience has been with SSD v. mechanical particularly with their 
gaming towers. There isn't much difference in the cost of an  250 gb SSD 
and 1TB WD Black. There also must be a reason why most of the gaming 
computer builders are adding SSD's to their configurations. The smaller 
SSD's are getting to be close in price to the larger mechs.

I appreciate all the help and suggestions. Thanks again.
