A Velociraptor is cost effective, fast and efficient. If you have money to blow and you really don't care about price - sure go for an SSD. Otherwise a normal mechanical disk is just fine. The performance difference isn't "life breaking news" that will change your overall PC experience. You still do the same things with an SDD drive you did with a mechanical drive, only in fast-forward 1.25x.

Fast forward 20x more like. Particularly during startup, I noticed the difference between a normal HDD (2007 model) and Vertex 1's. With all the crap I apparently have installed atm it could take up to 7 minutes before my PC was entirely ready, with SSD's I'm pretty sure its below a minute.
And efficient, like, how? It uses more power than a SSD, it's slower and surely makes a hell of a lot more noise.
I personally find a SSD to be "life breaking news", and can recommend it to anyone. The difference between SSD and HDD are a lot more obvious than the difference between a HD6870 and a HD6850 for ex. The same is true for the CPU, you will mostly not notice a 200Mhz increase/decrease (within the same type), but can save you a lot of money.
