am I barking up the

When I replaced a traditional hard disk in my 5 year old laptop with a
SSD I noticed a faster start up but for day to day use no overall
difference in speed.


Hmm! that hasn't been my experience. I've changed several laptops to
SSDs
and *everything* is much snappier.


Only with the laptops that dont have enough physical memory.


Bull****.


We'll see...

My desktop has 32GB and the SSD still makes an enormous difference.


Not to anything except the time to start from a full reboot and
with launching apps that are very disk intensive when starting.

Anyone with even half a clue only reboots every few months
and doesnt close apps at all.
