I run a pair of the 7500 pros in RAID 0, soon to just break them up and use each for a VM. Those should be perfectly speedy to "feel" a major change. And that's my point, do you feel a slight improvement with SSDs? Yeah, sure. Is the vast benchmark improvement reflective of how they feel compared to the fastest (SAS and velociraptor) platter drives? No. At a certain point, when something gets fast enough, a lot of the improvement becomes undetectable.
Honestly. The only thing I use that really FEELS faster than a couple velociraptors in raid is my superspeed ramdrive. Everything is instantaneous. Blows away raptors and SSDs.
