True enough... but you're underestimating the subjective performance increase. It's astounding (not with this drive, but with a full SSD)
Since switching my mac to a decently quick SSD and doing a few other tweaks to go along with it - I actually shut it down for the night or when I know I won't be using it for a while - because it shuts down in less than 2 seconds and boots to fully-usable in 20 seconds - and apps still start instantly, suddenly rebooting is no longer a thing to work around or avoid. I don't worry about keeping anything running to speed things up, because everything is just that fast.
Plus I can just yank it off the table without waiting for drive spindown if I have to run off to another meeting.
