So all of my desktops and laptops have SSD's for OS drives I got a Dell Optiplex 980 for free the other day I went about setting up windows etc I forgot how much I hate the freezes etc while Windows is booting up and man running windows update take god damn forever on this thing. Long live SSDs!

You should see the computers that I'm forced to interact with at work. I had a customer's computer today take 45+ seconds opening a tab in our program. On any normal computer, this is a few milliseconds. I asked if that was normal and he responded with "Meh, happens a lot".
Even just helping this guy out drove me crazy. I don't know how he deals with it on a daily basis.

I only own Intel SSD's and I'm very happy with them. I'm sure someone has a faster driver etc but Intelhas never let me down not one single issue with 7 installed.

Once you've start using a SSD on a regular basis you'd never go back.

Unless your work computer has a HDD and you cry to yourself every time you have to restart or log in.

Thankfully started to push for SSD's in our laptops here at work and finally got them now more and more are getting them. For just the little more in price you get so much more in speed.
So instead of a 250Gig SLOW HDD it will be a 128Gig SSD... much better option!

Anand put it really well; "You notice the performance of an SSD most when you take it away." I guess the point is when you start using an SSD the speed is awesome, but you get used to it. Its only when you have to sit front of a multi minute boot that you realize how awesome SSDs are. Once I can budget a 256GB SSD my 300GB raptor is going in the classies.
