Loving SSD
 

I know, I know... I mention it too much, but I just updated the missus business notebook yesterday to SSD, and OMG, what a performance improvement. The system is a Dell XPS M1530 with 4gb and from a cpu / power angle, it has heaps of grunt, but it all failed at the hard drive, using a 250gb sata. So I ripped that out yesterday and swapped in a new SSD... the load and shutdown time is about half now, but the improvement is in the use itself, being opening, closing, saving, installing, etc... near instantaneous / extremely fast now. You double click and it just opens. With around 250mb per second read and 150mb per second write, what a vast improvement it now is to use the notebook once again. Doesn't matter how much data is on the drive, it just does what you want it to do instantly.

I installed MS Office 2007 onto it and it took under 3 minutes to be fully installed. Love that performance, especially from a notebook.

I have a few more systems to fully swap to SSD, and I can't wait.
