SSDs are hot items on the market now. i got the crucial m4 just like Hondaracer. i was a bit sceptical about taking the plunge, but it was definitely worth it. on sata2 (on my previous desktop), cold boots took probably 30 seconds or so. on sata3 (current desktop), cold boots seemed to be reduced by another 10 seconds at least.
if you're really after storage, try to salvage a hard drive off a friend's older pc or laptop for now and wait until HDD prices stabilize. it's going to take at least 6 months. seagate's more likely to recover faster considering that they seem to have more factories outside of thailand.
