Good afternoon,

I actually decided to buy myself a 2.5" SATA-3 128Gb OCZ Agility 3 [AGT3-25SAT3-128G] SF-2281 (R525/W500MB/s) SSD.
I think it would be better to put the whole system on it.
Or connect it as ReadyBoost ?

Of course the entire system.
ReadyBoost crutches and overhead.

And it's even better to look not at the numbers in the R525/W500MB/s, but at the reviews/articles/reviews. Usually everyone recommends taking Intel, Crucial (M4), Plextor (the latter seem to be more expensive).

I'm not 100% sure
ReadyBoost technology was created as a cache for HDD on flash usb for a similar analogue of SSD (a flash drive is used as a cache for HDD),
so we can conclude that the ReadyBoost function does not need to be enabled for SSD.

On 128G it is better to install the whole system.
And for caching, it's better to take OCZ syn-25sat3-128g or 64g, which will work in parallel with a bootable hard drive through Dataplex software and cache calls to it.
I myself use syn-25sat3-64g - while the flight is normal.

transferring the swap from Windows and the cache from the browser from a fast medium to a slow hard drive, you kill 90% of the charms of ssd.
For the first six months I also thought that I would increase the validity period of ssd, but when ssdlife and other utilities showed me that my ssd kingson 64gb is not the first freshness, it will work until 2016, despite the fact that this is a home desktop that runs windows 2008r2, ms sql ( TFS), visual studio (C#, WPF development in the evenings for the soul) and during the day a girl works at the machine - a content manager, who is constantly running gimp and a browser with fifty tabs and sometimes I program remotely in my free time, I'm on cache and swap scored.
Now I don’t use the screw at all if I don’t listen to music / watch / movies / download torrents - as a result, the responsiveness of the system increases and even if there is a swap on 2 and 4 hectares of memory - this is not noticeable - launching icq, skype, outlook, ms live, keepassx, far, chrome during a cold start of the computer - it is executed simultaneously in a couple of seconds, and not while all these threads are trying to torment the hard disk, vying with it
