Allo all.
I've been creeping builds for the last month or so (I've got a boxee I couldn't be more unhappy with and will return shortly), and I've pretty much narrowed it down to an XS35GT. I like its looks, i don't think next gen will offer me anything that the XS won't, and the price isn't unreal. However, I'm still having a tough time settling on an SSD.
I just got a vertex 2 for my desktop, and MAN that thing flies... but I know with something as low powered as atom/ion, these SSDs probably can't even really peak.
Is buying something with 280/250 read-write overkill? I'd really love to run Aeon, so whatever gives it to the unf to get through that is what I want.
I plan to store absolutely 0 media on the drive, and wired-stream everything, and probably run openelc/xbmclive... so if they actually sold decent speed 16/30 giggers, I bet that would be fine space wise.
So, anyone done SSD with an XS, or SSD in general, and know where the performance starts getting wasted?
tl;dr - What SSD do you like :>
