The OCZ Vertex 3 is fast, there’s no doubt that it will drastically decrease the boot times of your computer and speed up everything you do with that computer. From my testing and experience here, upgrading to an SSD is the way to go when it comes to speeding up your system. I’m personally very happy with this drive, it’s like I’ve got a new computer really. It’s much more responsive and there’s virtually no wait time for me to begin doing something after I hit the power button, relatively speaking of course. The biggest difference is after the login screen, everything loads almost instantly especially when compared to a mechanical hard drive."
