SSDs and what are the benfits

[Duck77]

Other than faster boot times, what are the other main benefits of having a SSD rather than the traditional HDD?

 

[jeffredo]

Vastly faster access times/loading for applications, silent operation, lower heat and power consumption. If you've never owned one before once you try an SSD you'll never go back to a platter drive.
