7200 vs 5400 was a life changer too, but not like mechanical to SSD.
I remember paying something like $160 for the 60 GB one and being blown away as to how awesome it was (minus the storage size) and lamenting that most laptops didn't have dual slots for HDD.
I still laugh at people who complain SSD read/write suck vs other SSD. When would you ever push it enough to notice the difference for more than a few milliseconds? I just choose based on reliability and it's hella good enough.
