Benefits of SSD?

[parcel98]

What are the benefits of getting a SSD? I know that having your OS boot on a SSD is a lot faster, but are there any other benefits?

Lots of benefits for laptops, you don't have to worry about vibration or carrying the machine around causing drive problems, also better battery life. On a desktop, boot, and load times (games and programs in general) are the main benefits.
