I'm considering to purchase a SSD. The one I have in mind for the moment is this one. Samsung 830 Series MZ-7PC512D 512GB I'm not going for a top of the line disk but I would like to ask if anyone has experience with SSD's and FreeBSD (9.1 is my plan). Just to complicate things a little, I'll make a dual boot install with W7. I have this set up today on an ordinary SATA disk. I just your view on if it's a good idea ;-) Thanks /Leslie
