I hope this is not the same way have a similar thread. If it have, with due indulgence from our mods please feel free to merge.

Boot time - this is from POST(from the time you push the power on switch) up to the time the desktop, dock and menu bar are completely loaded.

Before the storage upgrade, 120Gb 5400 rpm Samsung : 45 to 48 sec
After the storage upgrade, 32Gb MLC SSD KingSpec : 38 sec max

I got 10 sec boot time improvement from the HDD to SSD and more than 50% faster when opening and loading applications.

not so cheap man, i have bought it for 650 RMB or about 100 USD for the 32 Gb.

They have up to 256 Gb, but man, it costs much...

There is a little improvement on boot time, but what i really like is the shortest possible time it opens applications, 2 - 3 seconds... even with adobe cs4 which really takes time to load...
