In a previous posts, I talk about “Being fast, it’s not optional for us!!!” today I will just show the benefit of the SSD, so just see the following video for copying 7 GB between SSD.
Just imagine now the loading time of any application that read or write from and to SSD.
If you don’t have it GET IT NOW!!
Andrew Whitten wrote a good blog post about just testing and timing some simple operations in Windows 8 that anyone can do out of the box.
Here a part of the post:

Conclusion
There is a considerable speed advantage to using a Solid State Disk for running your Hyper-V virtual machines.
e-Sata still proved to be slightly faster than USB 3.
Surprisingly, USB 2 was not extremely slow compared to its USB 3 successor.
So we can see the benfit of the SSD on normal PCs and SSD with virtual machine and Hyper-V.
So I believe it really worth!
Sum this table up in the footer
Thanks, I do it
did you try to use virtual machines on SSD or not yet ? because as far as i know the reading speed for SSD is damn good but write is not that good
and according to this i have my doubts , i wonder if we have a VM and use it heavily on SSD and make same scenario on e-sata. i think we won’t find that big difference. because after all VM is one big file also with snapshot being used things won’t be good. i’m so eager to test this
You are right, but it’s still faster !!!!
