SSDs will make it faster, but not as much as you might first think.

SSDs are really fast at access speed, and small reads and writes.

Large read speed depends on the drive, it can be much faster than a single hard drive. But not worlds faster than a good high rpm raid setup. Unless you go PCIe.

There are different breeds of SSDs. Sata/SAS, (200-500+MB/sec read) and ones that absolutely scream, Enterprise PCIexpress. (2000-2400+MB/sec read)

You get what you pay for, along with guaranteed failure.... They are getting better, better bios to keep from killing sector rows, only erase when needed, etc. (you can only read and write to them so many times, and then they die.) But in the end, it will die. When it does, your not getting anything off of it either....

3 things to remember with an SSD. Backup, Backup, and Backup....

I will wait a few more seconds on my raid array. A drive can die and I just pull it out and put another drive in it. And no data is lost. I don't even have to turn it off to do it...
