Alex, actually it was a decision I came to after quite a bit of research about DS and after being totally alienated by Dells decision to no longer continue the "my hive" area on Alienwares web site. Plus your company gets very good reviews from customers on sites other than your own
That in itself carried a great deal of weight in my decision making, that and the product quality & price. @Black5Lion I was thinking the same and that is very happy thought!!!

One more question please.
would it make any difference in game play if I load GW2 on the SSD?

I am not familiar with GW2, but I would say with 95% certainty that yes, it will improve your performance.
