Upgrading the standard 320GB 5400rpm HDD in the MacBook Pro 13" 2.66GHz (2010 model), to a 240GB Vertex 2 SSD Drive. Includes unboxing and a before & after test to see the speed difference. To make the test fair the HDD was cloned to the SSD, so both had the exact same data on them.

Speed test times (in seconds):
Boot Up - HDD - 28.5
Boot Up - SSD - 21.7
Opening PhotoShop CS4 - HDD - 11.1
Opening PhotoShop CS4 - SSD - 3.4
Opening Word 2008 - HDD - 9.1
Opening Word 2008 - SSD - 2.4

UPDATE:
After making this video, and a couple of reboots later, I noticed performance has INCREASED even further!
the system now boots in under 17 seconds!!
