Great new article from Canon that explains the differences between Solid State Hard Drives and Hard Disk Drives:

Selection from article:

"Advantages of Solid-state Drives
SSDs can instantly read and/or write twice as fast HDDs. This is a clear advantage when booting a computer, downloading large files, opening software applications, or working on highly demanding tasks like photo or video editing. A critical deciding factor is the controller (the "brain") behind a SSD. A mediocre controller with a top rated SSD may end up being slower than a conventional HDD.

SSDs do not need to be defragmented, and they stand a better chance of surviving a drop or impact. Strong magnetic fields, like speakers or even cell phones, can corrupt the data on a HDD, while SSDs are unaffected by magnets. SSDs consume less power (2W SDD vs. 7W HDD typical power consumption), and produce less heat, which greatly expands the life and battery performance on laptops and other portable devices."

The best upgrade I ever did [url=http://www.eoshd.com/content/6709/choosing-an-ssd-for-your-macbook-pro]http://www.eoshd.com/content/6709/choosing-an-ssd-for-your-macbook-pro[/url]

I use a Kingston 240GB SSD as my main drive for running apps off, editing footage, etc. Then for extra storage room I have my old MacBook 750GB HDD in the optical bay.

One of the biggest real-world speed increases I ever had... More than a RAM or CPU upgrade even!
