    it's much faster boot time.. and noticable faster app startup time.. the rest is something you will probably not notice that much at all.

    I have 2 128gb latest gen SSDs from OCZ and Corsair. While the boost is noticeable in things i mentioned, the price is really not warranted. from $300+ to over $500 for 256gb SSDs is just a rip off.

    I am running OSX now on 7200rpm SATA drive latest gen and I honestly don't see much of a difference at all. Money spent poorly.

    Until they get to 500gb+ for $200, it will not be worth it imo. And I know this will go against every person out there hyping up SSDs but honestly I think it's a waste of money for the storage you get. And considering you will be using a regular drive for storage the point of buying SSD becomes even more pointless.
