[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1535566"] If you're asking "is there really all that much difference between a SSD/Flash storage drive and a traditional hard drive," the answer is OMG YES!! SSDs tend to be something like 10x faster (reading) than normal hard drives, and also very fast in writing as well. Particularly with disk-based activities, this makes a HUGE difference in performance. However, as you've probably already discovered, SSDs are expensive and don't come in enormous capacities like HDDs. So there's a big trade-off there if you're storing a lot of stuff on your boot drive. [/QUOTE]
