computerworld.com— Data on SSD can be erased much more quickly and thoroughly than it can with a magnetic, spinning hard disk.

My mom was watching some csi kind of show and I happened to walk by and notice they were trying to recover some data from a cell phone. So they sprayed the sim card with some of that canned air stuff to freeze it then they took it out and stuck it in a computer. I started to laughing my ass off.
Many of the people in this forum are obviously very knowledgeable about SSDs. I am not a techie but am hoping some of you can give me some guidance. I'm planning to purchase a Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop. Some specs include the Intel Core 2 Duo T9550 (6MB Cache/2.66 GHZ). The one option I'm struggling with is whether to choose their SSD. The basic configuration comes with a 320 GB HDD @ 7200 RPM. For an additional $375, I can upgrade it to a 256GB SSD. I don't need the extra storage but I am more interested in speed and performance. I can afford the upgrade, but I hate to waste the $$$ if it is not necessary or if I'm not going to get much value out of the upgrade. I would appreciate your comments on this since I am planning to place my order in the next few days. Thanks

I should have made it more clear I know about the freezing the ram thing. Sim cards are non-volatile so that makes no sense.
