I am interested in hearing for anyone with an SSD to know if they think it improves their productivity significantly and if they have done (or know of any) studies or calculations to this effect?
Basically i would love to have an SSD and definitely think the future of storage technology is going in that direction, however i question the value/cost trade off at this point between quick boot & load times and having to shell out an arm and a leg for a large SSD or having to deal with backup/transfers between multiple disks. Booting my computer once a day and loading several programs each time doesn't bother me much, and my 7200RPM drive/Core 2 Duo lets me work through my 28MB Raw files pretty quickly, where most of the delay is running filters on them, not loading or saving the files. Again i would love to get an SSD, but i can think of other things that seem like a better use of money at this point.
Thanks in advance for lending me your perspective.
