Looking around the computer section, I couldn't find any SSD discussion threads, so I figure that this is a good opportunity to start one. With magic and wonder.
--------------------------------------
I just ordered a Samsung 840 250GB drive for $150 (not to be confused with the 840 Pro), which I figured was a pretty good deal since I only have a SATA II motherboard and don't need a flagship SSD in my desktop. Comes out to $0.60/GB.
However, I will need some help in setting up my new SSD. I would like to use it for Win7, Steam, and maybe a couple of other programs. I would like to know what the best way of doing this is. Rilnac pointed me to this guide, but it's clear from reading the comments that there are a whole lot of different opinions on what should be done and how people should do it.
