Disk reads and writes are some of the slowest operations a computer performs, and SSDs are a lot faster than a traditional hard drive. Computers boot faster and programs open faster.

OOTP still does a lot of disk operations (although not as much as it used to), and my experience is that an SSD makes a huge difference.

If you have an older computer, an SSD is probably the single best upgrade you can invest in. And the best part is that once you've bought it you can just move it to another computer if you decide to get a new system down the road.
