Meh
There is an SSD in my MBA, iMac, and my wife's MBP. I don't really see that big of a difference, but it is supposed to be faster. Maybe we don't see much difference because the drives aren't big enough and we have to store files in other places. And they are all in new computers, replacing old ones that were years old, so we can't tell what difference an SSD makes. Edited on May 15, '12 08:40:33AM by excarnate
Does your main Mac have an SSD?
I manually installed an SSD (from Other World Computing) in my iMac (27" mid-2010, 2.93 Ghz i7). At first, I ran everything of the HDD and used the SSD for development databases. A month or so ago, I finally upgraded to Lion, which I installed on the SSD along with all but my largest sets of files (videos and virtual machine images) and I immediately noticed that a number of normal everyday tasks were incredibly fast compared to the HDD + Snow Leopard.

Still waiting for the $/Gb scale to shift to where I don't mind replacing my entire HDD (size) with an SSD.

SSD's mainly gain you boot performance -- it's all about how fast a file can be read into ram cache. ---

It's not just boot performance. Apps open a lot quicker and are much more responsive. Photoshop and Xcode (my two slowest opening apps) open in less than 3 seconds.

Actually, fast boot time can be nice, especially if you test software that requires reboots, and need to test many times. Not that I do it a lot, but I do it occasionally, and it's always refreshing to see the reboot so quick. ---

I did upgrade my 2010 MBP to a 500 GB OWC SSD nearly 1 year ago. Speed is awesome, but I can’t use any computer still having a HD for prolonged use times. It just sucks in comparison. :-) Edited on May 16, '12 12:17:39PM by poenn

I really want an SSD, but at best the price is currently $1 per Gigabyte, and I'd need at least a 400GB drive for all the stuff I do (There's certain things I want to keep on my boot drive, like my extensive iTunes library. I have 3 1TB+ drives for everything else). ---
