I agree with the comment about how SSD’s enhances performance quite a bit. It is a simplistic view to say that SSD's only speed up load times. For any running programs, especially games and video intensive programs, there can be a lot of I/O (reads and writes) of data. Since some SSD’s can be over 90x faster than a typical 5400 RPM hard drive, having an SSD can make a big difference in performance. Other benefits: less susceptible to shock, higher heat tolerance, more consistent performance.

I see a lot of people here not knowing what they talk about :)
SSDs improve quite a lot computer performance, more that 4gbs of ram, or a "newer" gpu. Please, do your research before you speak.

@DixieCzech Well actually I once got an external USB hard drive for video editing and it Final Cut kept saying that I was dropping frames. I didn't research it beforehand and it turned out I needed a faster hard drive, so I got one with FireWire 800 and I no longer drop frames. It's partly to do with the way that USB works though, not just the speed.
But let's just face it, everything accounts to the performance.

@Genixel Of course there are some games limited by slower HDDs (S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, The Witcher 2 and other "onemonstermap" games.), but most of the games are not affected by HDD performance since there is another, very fast memory in PC - RAM. That's where are today games hungry - times when a super fast HDD was needed for a game to run are gone (sub 1993). Lagging in videos is not due to HDD, but because of a slow CPU or low amount of RAM installed.

@DixieCzech I'm not sure if games work much similar to video, but if you have a slower hard drive, playback of video can't keep up and the computer ends up dropping frames or lagging.
I wouldn't be surprised if that applies to games.

@Genixel If you wanna put it that way...i was talking about actual gameplay performance. It wont make your game smoother, thats what i meant.

@DixieCzech Loading times = Part of performance.

SSD doesn't affect performance, only loading times..

@avatarfilmeaza lol nice one

@unifylical Typical mac-fanboy I see.
It's COD, a potato could run it.
