MacBook Air SSD vs HDD

SSD demonstrated against regular HDD, SSD wins every test by far:

As Flash prices drop, the performance advantage of SSD will begin to outweigh the cost, and current capacity limitations promise to be less of a factor as well. That will allow Apple to focus its Mac OS X development efforts on optimal SSD reading and cached writing, rather than catering its optimizations to the nature of standard hard drives with longer latency and seek times.

Seriously, SSD are extremely awesome. Loads times will be brought to an absolute nothing eventually lol :laugh:

I dislike the Mac part of everything, but SSD looks promising. I hope that it doesn't cost me a fortune.

You hope? SSDs do cost a fortune

It's a SSD in a MacBook Air, hence the reason of me writing MacBook Air. Wether you like Mac or not has nothing at all to do with SSD performance boosts.
