Switching to SSD, advise needed!

I'm currently thinking of buying a new SSD, and the question that I have is which SSD should I buy. I've had different people advising me to buy basically every brand of SSD possible, with none having a majority vote lol.

Also, I know I should keep my data on a regular HDD, but should I install my games and other software on my SSD or should I install them on my HDD as well?

Any advise is greatly welcome!

It is just pure bliss! lol The boot time for everything is just so much faster, much snappier. Couldn't be a better investment! 😄

That's great news, enjoy it. I also just bought a 240GB Sandisk Extreme SSD, I can't wait to try it out myself.:)
