    Anyone tried one of these: Intel SSD. I want to see VS open up before I lift my finger from the mouse.

    Best wishes, Hans

    I've been using one for nearly a year and it's fantastic. VS2008 loads in ~4 secs and VS2010 RC in ~3 secs, but the best thing is that the whole system feels more responsive. I highly recommend getting one! My 80GB formatted to give 75GB and with Windows 7, Office, MSDN, VS 2008 & 2010 I have 35GB left. I turned off hibernation and moved my swap file to a hard drive.

      I don't have one of those super processors and Visual Studio 8 loads very fast. Visual Studio 10, however, takes ages.

        We're not talking about processors, are we? This is about solid state drives from Intel.

            I have a 256 GB Samsung in my laptop. It's supposedly not as good as the Intel, but I couldn't be happier with it. It's without competition the best performance boost since I went from floppies to HDD!

              Six seconds, but I'm just having a laptop, that's not equipped with the fastest memory or processor. The revelation is when you open the projects, and compile them.
