Despite advances in CPU, GPU, and memory technologies, for most users, moving from a traditional hard drive to a solid state drive remains one of the most effective PC upgrades possible. Although there are usually trade-offs in terms of capacity (unless you’ve got an unlimited budget), solid state drives offer exponentially faster access times, significantly more bandwidth, and can handle many more concurrent operations.  What that means for end users is that – all other things being equal – upgrading from a hard drive to an SSD results is a more responsive system, that boots faster, shuts down faster,  and can move data around quicker.  Applications launch faster and game levels load faster too. There are also battery life and durability benefits for notebooks and laptops because solid state drives use less power and have no moving parts.
