Going from any spinning drive to any SSD, you will experience a substantial increase in performance for read and writes. Also a huge improvement in boot time.

Makes sense. But say I only have $40 for a hard drive upgrade. Is the performance increase from an older 7200 drive to this substantial? Or do I have to get up to higher capacities for it to make a...

Traditional 2.5" hard drives should use under 5 watts (they can be powered by USB) and 3.5" typically under 10 watts even at load. SSDs are 0.5-2w.

I purchased this on the last promo and really like it. It's uses about 15W less than a traditional hard drive too. FYI.
