The new Western Digital Black drives have been getting some good press lately. I ordered two 1TB drives to replace some aging 500gig drives in my home server. SSD's haven't proven themselves to me yet, still nervous on the read write issues. Speed is one thing, but I'd rather have reliability.
the read write issues have supposedly been solved with Windows 7's support of the TRIM firmware, and a lot of existed SSD's just update their firmware to have TRIM fix their issues. *goes and reads the geek article, lol*
