Once you go SSD you'll never go back! It's way faster.
I upgrading to an SSD on my old windows laptop about 2 years ago, installed windows 8, and my startup/shutdown times were less than 10 seconds. Apps like photoshop open within 5 or 6 seconds.
I bought a macbook pro with an SSD about a year ago and have noticed similar performance, but believe it or not windows still starts up and shuts down faster.
I use the SSD for my OS and all apps, and store all of my work files, music, movies, etc... on a USB 3.0 external HD. It's a system I've been doing for many years now and it works for me.
- Windows takes forever to shut down compare to Macs. It has a shutdown screen and all. Macs just turn off instantly.monospaced
- Sometimes. Since Mountain Lion, shutdowns have been a little funky for me.nikdaum
