for the vertex or intel SSDs. And anandtech definitely
has the best articles on SSDs.
The difference compared to a HDD (at least for a laptop
user) is phenomenal. Applications start in 50% less
time or better. You can actually let the Vista/Win7
content indexer run, and never notice it. Same thing
with a daily AV scan...it will have absolutely no impact
on your system performance. You can run backup,
download files, etc and keep working along just fine.
Bottom line...if given a choice between systems with an
$800 CPU and a $100 HDD, or an $100 CPU and $800 SDD,
take the one with the SSD every time.
