I've definitely seen that it is much quicker, although you can get by without, just use a 10k RPM drive! [The best substitute...]

I've built my own PCs for over 20 years now. Started with a 80286 and built my own and my families' machines until and including today. My last build was a 2600K, a monster of a machine. It's amazing how much computing power we can buy at a very low price compared to the past.

I upgrade in pieces. Oftentimes the CPU is still plenty strong, and a new graphics card will give the system new life. My machines tend to last about 4 years until every part has been replaced.

I can honestly say that SSDs have by far, by very far, been the best thing to happen to a large user base in years. I am an impatient person, and waiting for the hard drive to piece together what the system needs with abysmal access times has bothered me for a long, long time. I've only been able to afford small SSDs, but I will not ever put a system together again that does not boot from a SSD, it would be unthinkable.

There is never a perfect option for a pre-built, and I haven't trusted OEMs in a while. I like the quality of 3rd-party manufactured components that I pick out. And I like to have a good PSU to build upon.

2) How often do you replace or upgrade your PC?
a) Every year
In actuality, it's probably less than a year.

I bought by first SSD back a few years ago. It was an Intel X-25M 160GB G2. Since then, I've loaded out each of my systems with an SSD. There's still 2 computers left without SSDs and I can definitely tell. Everything just seems to take longer... It's like going back to 1.5Mbps DSL when you had 20Mbps FIOS.

2) How often do you replace or upgrade your PC? d) 2 – 3 years a well built machine doesn't need major upgrades that often, just the usual replacement of fans, memory, hard drives, etc.

3) How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance? b) Pretty important For portable systems ssd is better. Imo there's still a bottleneck in performance between the hdd, mobo, and OS.
