I used SSD in a Sata 2 mobo to replace HDD (blue), the performance indeed show significant performance.
Loading window faster, opening program instantly instead waiting it loading, despite being bottled neck by Sata 2.
(even run in ide mode as the mobo showed significant lagging in detecting ACHI drive, don't know why, as well problem in detecting Cd-rom, so installed in IDE mode to give it a try).


Replacing HDD with SSD is one of most significant improvement that user can feel on the upgrade.

Loading window, won't be instant as with Sata 3, (have another Sata 3 with win 8.1, pretty fast, just press the button, wait a few second, can use already) but it reduces significant time, aka when window page appear time, you don't need to wait, instantly can click on program already, unlike in HDD, the mouse cursor still spinning in circle.
