I've been running it on my old monster for a while now and I can tell you I'm rendering over 4X faster with the SSD.

Well - not looking to start an argument at all but I have to call BS on that.

 

 

If you are seeing 4X faster render times with SSDs you definitely need to specify what exact drive you were running on before and what you are comparing to. IMO you will not be seeing anything even remotely close to that when comparing with even a fairly lowly and cheap 5400rpm drive of 5 years + ago when its set up properly ........................................
