Recently, I've been planning on updating my desktop and was thinking about using a solid state drive. I was wondering if Carrara (and to a lesser extent Poser) would run faster using a SSD instead of a "regular" one.

You can open a software a little more faster... but not render times or OpenGL preview. But SDD are the future...just hope that they bring the prices down soon.

Do you know if there would be any significant improvement in the time it takes to load an object in the scene from my runtime or to save a scene to disk (not the "rendering" part but actually saving the .car file)?

A solid state drive should improve rendering times as well Not as much, but some. The machine does access the drive heavily when rendering. Just watch your drive activity light. lol.

An SSD will (depending on model) speed up any operation which accesses the hard drive, like loading anything from the drive such as objects.

From what I've seen, the few seconds are not worth the extra expense. Eventually they will get cheap enough though.

The Speed increase to me does not justify the price.
