    Add a cheap 120GB SSD alongside the HD and it’ll give it whole new lease of life.

        SandForce controller?

        I’ve never had a newer SSD fail on me. knocks wood I’ve got 3 in my computer, all the spinny-spinny-crashies are gone.

        Anyway, the idea behind the cheap small SSD is that you only put your OS and generic software on it, not your photos and personal data that you can’t afford to lose.
