What I'm interested in is the effect of SSDs on compile time, which is the biggest bottleneck to my productivity. In my case, the build time for Java projects in Eclipse. I've read conflicting stories of how SSD affects this. Over here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/499889/ssd-and-programming http://stackoverflow.com/questions/499889/ssd-and-programmin... its mentioned that CPU is by and large the bottleneck but over here: http://javamoods.blogspot.com/2010/04/hdd-ssd-battle.html http://javamoods.blogspot.com/2010/04/hdd-ssd-battle.html the author mentions that the SSD gives big speedups to compile time. Anyone has any data to share in regards to this?
