Solid State HDs - worth the cost?

Fri Jan 15 19:12:13 UTC 2010

My reading suggests that using a solid-state drive for the OS would
result in a noticeable (perhaps significant) speed increase to a
system.

I have one user who has a SSD in his laptop, and it is not noticeably
faster than a regular HD, but it is a laptop, and it is running Windows.
So, I have one data point which suggests it's not worth doing.  Anyone
have any experience to share?
