All my systems have been upgraded to SSDs. For my Windows laptops, it seems several times faster compared to a disk drive.

I just bought a new Dell desktop with a new Toshiba 2T HD about 3 months ago and have a older (5 years?) Toshiba Yoga 2 laptop with its original Intel 250GB SSD. The SSD is clearly faster in every way, although since I am not a gamer and don't have massive databases on my computer, I may not be a good reviewer on this. However, bootup takes maybe 2-3 seconds with the SSD while the HD takes about 15-20 seconds (which is an enormous improvement over my previous HP/WDC desktop/HD). I expect newer SSDs will be even better. The databases that I do access also load much more quickly on the SSD, although, again, the Toshiba HD is far superior to the older WDC HD.
