Once too pricey and too small for the average user, these solid state hard drives, which have no moving parts, are priced and sized for everyday professional users. After upgrading my Windows 7 64 bit machine to a Solid State Drive (SSD), I had a perceived increase in speed of at least 100% doing my Adobe Photoshop and Premiere operations and launching and using multiple programs at the same time. The boot time was cut in half! Some applications such as PT-Gui sped up 5-10 times!
