HDD technology doesn't seem to evolve a lot while everything else is evolving at light speed.

Basically, I am curious how would a faster hard drive/SSD improve my experience in MO.
I had the exact same problem during closed beta my harddrive was approaching it last spin and when i crossed a node i had a load time of 15-30s, i changed to a ssd when i did my last reinstall and now the problem isnt a problem any more its hardly noticeable anymore.

For me it was worth it.. i keep all my files on a NAS and just system and MO on the ssd now.
