I upgraded to an SSD during 1.0 from a 10k RPM WD Velociraptor. The improvement was phenomenal. Not only that, your computer is much more silent due to the lack of a spinning HDD, and your boot times and overall load times of ANYTHING are vastly improved. I could never go back to an HDD for anything.

Easily one of the best improvements you can make for your computer is an SSD if you're currently using an HDD. Well worth the price. If you're an individual who somehow needs 1TB of storage, just get an external or an internal HDD that you won't use frequently.
