A previous speaker wrote that he did not have time to get coffee, during installation. Well, so I'd say, so 10-15 minutes took the pure installation anyway. Exclusive of the post-install configuration routine.
In daily use - I use the laptop on work / Photoshop, Flex Builder, Flash, multiple browsers at the same time - I have only 2 programs at a noticeable faster start compared to previously. By writing a Linux live CD, I then measured times by the hard disk in real terms what they can read and write to raw data. Hab's 2GB tested. Well ... on the pack of the plate which is of 280 MB / s read and 230MB / s write ... Real but I have measured only 180 MB / s read and 140 MB / s when writing ... my conventional plate previously could read 200MB / s and write 90 MB / s.
Thus, the big WOW effect, as described in the press often stayed out for me at least. What perhaps was because my old drive was already relatively quickly. In addition, my system froze on the first weekend with the SSD often a time. But has placed now.
So I would recommend to most, yet not to buy SSD and to wait until the price per GB performance / stability may be better also reasonably appropriate and.
