<div class="im">&gt; My regular machine has a Seagate SATA 320 GB ( 3 Gb/s 16 MB ).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Have SSDs reached the point where they are reliable &amp; long-lasting ?<br>
&gt; Should I perhaps install an SSD for some uses + an HDD for others ?<br>
&gt; Is it viable to use an SSD for Portage ?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Apart from Portage + a few everyday files,<br>
&gt; there isn&#39;t much churn among the stuff I have on my existing HDD (above).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I saw a recent thread on this topic, but further thoughts are welcome.<br>
<br>
</div>forget the i7. Buy something a lot cheaper and invest the money into a nice,<br>
fat SSD like Vertex3.<br>
<br>
Money well spent.<br>
