First SSD and WOW!
Instant launching of applications, and my system boots in ~24-26 seconds. So far Im VERY impressed with my OCZ nocti 120GB.

Re: First SSD and WOW!
Welcome to the SSD owner's club. Now, every HDD will feel as slow as molasses in winter. It's both a blessing and a curse since when you get one, it's hard to live without it.

Re: First SSD and WOW!
When I ordered my x230 I thought I could live without a SSD even though I used one for the last 2.5 years. I was wrong....

Re: First SSD and WOW!
Yeah, it has some of that "you don't notice it until it's gone" factor.

Re: First SSD and WOW!
I convinced my girlfriend to get one. Paid more for it ($90) than she paid for the laptop ($54).

Re: First SSD and WOW!
Definitely underestimated the power of SSD... laptop boots up and is ready to use in under 25 seconds. Never looking back now
