Solid State Drive on HTPC

[pipeman]

Would this be overkill for the OS and programs on an Atom 330/Ion GUI HTPC?

Would it be large enough? Planning on running:

Windows 7
Premise or other HA program
Music Jukebox
Blu-Ray playback
HDTV capture, storage and playback
USB UIRT (or other) for control
Kitchen / Living Room internet surfing
Not for sure, but maybe occasional games

Thanks,

Sonny

I am using an 32 Gb SSD on my little Asus netbook with MS XP and Linux and it does fine. I use it mostly for surfing but have installed the entire MS Office suit on it and it works fine.

I have also tested playing HD & DiVx on it and it also works fine. I am currently thinking about using an SSD on the CarPC for the base OS (Windows or Linux) and just keeping the hard drives in it for media.
