simply upgrading to SSD is a huge performance booster. if i were still in IT, I would migrate all PCs to SSD, and that's it.


Simply upgrading to SSDs is also a huge financial drain. It's a difference of about $1/Gb for SSDs vs $0.05/Gb for HDDs. For consumers, an SSD could easily cost more than the rest of the PC.

Not saying it's a bad idea mind you, it's just another factor to take into consideration.


Agree entirely. The recent purchase of a 128Gb Samsung 840 Pro was a game changer for me.
