What I intend to do is get my FS9 up and running in its complete mode, time it and then transfer the whole thing to the SSD. I won't do that on a clean system, I want a heavily modified one. That is a real world test that might interest people.
I think you will be very happy with your SSD. I am running a heavily loaded FS9 off an SSD on my new PC workstation that I built and it only takes a few seconds to load. I'll be very interested to see the results of your before and after load time comparison.
