SSD drives use memory-card like technology to to bring faster disk access times to your computer system.  Typically you can expect between 25% and 50% faster disk responses (and thus boot-up times and file access) from an SSD disk than you would get from a standard hard disk drive.

If you are considering an SSD drive, we would recommend installing the operating system and programs onto the SSD drive and either use a second SSD drive for data or opt for a standard hard disk drive but the downside of this is that accessing your personal data files will be marginally slower - but all your programs will run a lot faster.
