I have 64GB SSDs in three laptops. I run RHEL6 and F16 on them.

Honestly, I do not see much of a difference. I am relatively certain
that benchmark utils would show me an improvement, but I was really
expecting a "WOW" moment when I installed. I had none.

To be fair, these are cheap-ish SSDs I got at my local Best Buy, but I
*really* expected more.
