Who here has an SSD and has Halo CE installed? I'd just like to know how it performs and such. Other games are welcome to mention as well. I may get a Samsung 840 Pro 128 GB for my Operation System and most used programs\games.

I mostly need a second storage solution, so I decided to get an SSD as my primary, and keep me 1.5 TB HDD as my storage. I record lots of FRAPS videos, and the HDD lag times has a significant impact on my recording.

Today I connected a PS3 80GB HDD into my PC using the SATA cables, but at 5400 RPMs, it's not fast enough even as a dedicated FRAPS directory. My framerate drops to around 30 (even though I can\do record at 60), and I can tell it's actually worse for recording than my main HDD (7200 RPMs.)

Maps load noticeably faster. Nothing spectacular.

Yeah, an SSD's useful for loading times mostly.

It's also helpful if you do a lot of reckless browsing and have to do regular scans as a result. An SSD pretty much voids the lag caused by scanning.

SSD increases your fps when recording under your ssd, with the game installed somewhere else other than the SSD. I have a Samsung 250gb (non-pro), got it 2 days ago.
