I can confirm that switching to a SSD on a laptop (or any PC) will speed up quite a lot. Just surprised me it took Seagate this long though as I've been rocking a SSD for years now, granted it's a Toshiba 250gb and only gets around 120~140mb on reads/writes but I must have paid only $150 for it 5 years ago.... Now the one fear i had then, and still do, is that SSD's only have a limited lifespan, they can only be written so many times. But... as I said 5 years and it is running the OS partition with no errors or glitches to speak of.

G.Skill Sandforce based SSD failed on me the other day... really pissed off.

Will never buy Sandforce controlled SSDs again. I can't believe how many manufacturers are producing new models with them.
