I'm going to be installing a Ceton Infinity4 and many on here have recommend installing a SSD, I found this one and price is right $60 after mail in rebate Patriot Pyro PP60GS25SSDR LINK . What do the experts think of it? I assume 60GB is big enough to move/install Windows 7 to it. I'm also adding 4GB. Here's the rest of my build for compatibility and any suggestions re: the SSD Thanks for looking:
CPU: AMD A6-3650 Llano 2.6GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-A75M-UD2H
Memory: Kingston HyperX 4GB (2x2GB)
HD: Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 2TB SATA 6.0Gb/s
Case: nMEDIAPC HTPC 6000B ATX (I really dig the case!)
Remote: Rosewill RHRC-11001
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Is this a good SSD?

I own two patriot pyro 120 gig drives, they are based on the same controllers as many other drives, so as long as you upgrade the firmware you shouldnt have any issues. Most likely they will be shipped with the most recent firmware.

I think I bought the wrong drive. My case (nMEDIAPC 6000B) has 3.5" bays and the Patriot drive I bought is 2.5". Any suggestions?
