It’s all about the workload.
If you were thrashing a spinning disc-- I. e. running many disc-intensive processes that all want different data-- a SSD will probably do better.
If you’re using a disc in a way that uses it efficiently-- I. e. streaming continuous data on and off it, a SSD adds little value.
And if you abuse it-- I. e. using it to hold heavily written swap space-- you’re gonna wreck it fast.

This guy seems to know what he's talking
about. Just one question though.
Who did he learn English from? George Carlin?

I have also found that in deference to their
claims some of the SSDs are SLOWER than regular enterprise
drives.
I believe this new technology leaves a lot
to be desired.
