Hidden.platypus: I've been running my computers from an SSD for the last four years, and even the oldest one (6 years now) flies. The reason it does however, is because I installed all programs to the SSD, so they start really fast. If you don't, and keep only the OS on the SSD, the only thing an SSD will get you is a faster startup.

I use my HDD's for data, and games of which I don't really care about startup time. They're mostly older, written for 1998-2006 era computers (except for a few), so they start in a few seconds, even from HDD.
