With so many SSDs piling up, all based on the same few controllers, it&rsquo;s time for us "to start identifying the real winners. Detailed solid state drive specifications and reviews are great&mdash;that is, if you have the time to do the research. However, at the end of the day, what an enthusiast needs is the best SSD within a certain budget."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/lpt/auto/1304707165.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 0px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>As SSDs are becoming more common place and cheaper, it is about time that a guide be published letting you know which one is most worth your simoleons.&nbsp; There are lots of reasons to upgrade, from better performance to increased battery life.&nbsp; I still worry about the lifespan of SSDs as I have heard some horror stories but a proper backup regimen should take care of most of those problems.&nbsp; You do have a proper backup regimen you follow, right?</p>
