i have to agree with john on this. even a low end ssd is more than enough for everyday usage. most people just dont move large files everyday. its always a good idea to look for the best deal but in regards to an ssd its more about size for the everyday user.
Keep in mind, all that being said, I still put at least 1 SSD in every build that is not budget limited. I can't justify it logically, but I'm a nerd and just "knowing it's there" makes me happy .
We set a shared workstation up with both SSD and SSHD with OS and programs even games on both and using a 3rd data drive (SSHD). While users were "outta the room", I'd go into BIOS and change the Boot drive, unplug the associated data cable. With 5 different users using the PC.... no one noticed ... the scam was 'we have new AV software, let me know if you experience any slowdowns. After 6 weeks no one noticed. At one point I even installed an old HD that we use for outside storage copying files by inserting in HD docking station. Everybody had multiple sittings at each configuration... and on one instance received a "I'm not really sure but boot seemed slower today". Did years before with two lappies... SSD + HD versus SSHD. No one noticed anything but I had to keep "cleaning" the 120 GB SSD as it had a habit of growing its footprint and wanted to avoid disk full messages.
