When I go to work I boot up my computer with an HDD and wow, it takes long to get to the Windows desktop.
I still store files on an HDD, but load the OS and a game I am currently playing at the time onto the SSD.
Great value!
Faster boot & app loading times are a good value proposition for enterprises to install SSDs.
If it reduces boot time from 3 minutes to 1 minute, that's 2 minutes of time every day. Figure 5 days a week for 50 weeks per year, that's 500 minutes of time saved, or nearly 8 hours -- an entire working day. If someone costs their company $70/hr in salary and benefits, that more than covers the cost of buying and migrating to the SSD!
Spread that out across a typical 3-5 year PC refresh cycle and you've effectively added almost an entire week of productivity. Multiply by hundreds or thousands of employees and it suddenly looks very attractive!
If you are looking at productivity down to the 2 minutes per day time scale, then I'd hate to be an employee that works for a company that follows you into the bathroom to make sure you are really taking a #2.
