If you were to build a new PC today, what storage set up would you use? I'm thinking that the primary disk would have to be SSD for the start up and application launch performance. I wonder if a secondary SSD for compiling large projects (like Chrome) would be worth it? Would it be a good trade off for a laptop: faster disk but reduced capacity?

AnandTech has some great SSD write ups here and here.

Looks like the intel X25-M is the best choice, and you can get the 160 GB drive for $500 at amazon. That still seems a little pricey to me.

J seems to know of a good hybrid approach for a Laptop. Maybe he will post something on it?

The SSD I was looking at was for the express card slot, so that won't help people with newer Pros.
