I have the following setup on my i7 920 @4ghz Asus P6T
80GB Intel X25M G2 with TRIM
2TB RAID 0 WD Black
500GB WD Black
Upon running AS Benchmark, I've scored 410 which is outstanding compared to my WD Black. My Windows Index score was increased from 5.9 to 7.7
My boot time remained the same...maybe even longer than before. I suspect this due to my RAID 0 setup in addition to my SSD (loading drivers, etc)
Startup programs are instantly there...no more waiting for programs to start
But once the window is up and running, I do not notice any other changes from WD Black other than opening 3 or more programs at once.
IMO, it wasn't worth the cost and time to move onto SSD. I made the same mistake of moving up from Q6600 to i7 as I did not notice much difference.
