So the question becomes less “Should I buy one at all?” and more “Should I buy one yet?” This question is a lot harder to answer, especially as prices continue to drop. Currently I would say that right now the price premium for SSDs keeps them firmly in the “only for enthusiasts” range at the moment. Give it 6-12 months or so and I think prices will be ready for everybody to start using them. Having said that, if you’re building a gaming PC then you’re probably spending a little more on other
components anyway, so go for it!
