[So it launches applications 10 times faster [sic] (should say in 1/10 the amount of time), but the article only claims speed improvements of about 3.5 to 1. People need to seriously examine how they quote or accept statistics.]
On a read there is still I/O setup time and data transfer time to be added in. The SSD reduces or eliminates seek time, ring time, rotational latency and read time.
Well with the cost of snake oil (obviously a petroleum derivative) tied to the inflation rate plus the P.T. Barnum meadow-muffin base the product is quite reasonably priced.
