Not the one in the youtube vid that was a Intel SSD they are high quality like any good fast hdd sata 2 is the leading cause of caps in speed. Intels drives are capped by sata 2 in reads as long as you don't buy their vaule ones which don't do the max of sata2 250mb/s read speed. But writing is were SSD is bad at only good writing ssd are the super expensive ones like intels E editions which go up to 180mb/s which is quite fast.
But lets face it ghost claw people don't use SSD are storage drives they use massive 2tb drives to store 1000 movies or something like that, something that will show continual large file writes are slow on even a good ssd.
The disadvantage of a good ssd are cost per gig is still very high.

I plan on buying an SSD once they're cheaper, and once SATA 3 is popular. Now admittedly after i spend $3000 on upgrades that seems kind of pointless but i hate to pay over $1 a gb of data, no matter how much faster the disc is.
