I finally bit the bullet and bought a 500GB Samsung EXO 850 SSD drive and installed it.
It was only $180.
The prices have really come down, so if you're someone that has been thinking about doing this, now is a good time.
I can vouch for Samsung SSDs, I've used them for a couple of years as gaming drives before installing this new OS drive.
The guys over at Fry's Electronics that build systems for people told me that the Patriot and SanDisk drives are very good, although they prefer the Samsung ones.
SSDs have sure dropped in price!

Eric
the same applies to the PCIe versions of SSDs and they are not restricted by the "speed" of the SATA bus.
