World of Warcraft is on the SSD for obvious reasons. Everything else is on a secondary WD Black drive.
 
Some of the time is the controller via bios loading up which does add a good few seconds to the boot time.

My time is quiet quick with reboot.
 
I run three X-25m's in a RAID 0 in my laptop, so highly recommend installing your games to the SSD. The load times are great and really improve your gaming experience, theres no doubt about it.

I will never, ever go back to spinning drives for anything but mass storage and backup. Anything executable will be on my SSDs from now on!

3 in Raid?!? I know laptops can have 2 bays for drives but where is the third sitting?
 
I'm currently using a Clevo D900F made by Sager, it uses a desktop i7 processor and has three drive bays built in. Its a pretty giant, and quite heavy laptop, but it's a much more powerful workstation than any other laptop could hope to be due to the desktop processor, tri channel memory and 3 way raid 0. Highly recommend.
 

games belong on a 360/ps3 like i belong on a moped. As in i wouldn't be caught dead doing that.

Lulz!

Mine are on the SSD. I love having games on SSD. And since I'm not a HUGE gamer, I put the one I am playing on the SSD and retire the program files of the other to a 1tb drive. When I want to play again, I copy them back over. It's hilarious to be in game 15 seconds before everyone else in LAN.
 
I got a 128gb SSD with everything but movies and music. Games, programs, and SO on the SSD...I only have 4 games or so installed...would like to have all of them, but I hardly have enough time anyway to play multiple games.
