SSDs work. Be sure to align partitions to 4K, and enable TRIM support on the filesystems. Use AHCI if available. > Just to complicate things a little, I'll make a dual boot install with W7.

Two of those Samsungs in 256G actually cost less than one 512G, and would make partitioning and multibooting simpler.
