Are you putting the SSD in a dedicated MAME machine? If so I'm interested in hearing about how the experience changes. Currently my cabinet just has an old 80 GB spinning disk so it wouldn't be too expensive to grab a 128 GB SSD to replace it and have a bit more space as a bonus.

The SSD will be in a mame/console machine running on Maximus Arcade as the front end. Although it was a bit pricey ($200 for 256 gb) , I figured that it would make my machine more arcade-like, due to faster load times and minus the noise of a spinning drive. I will let you know how it goes once it is up and running. My last 1TB seagate recently died on me so I am currently in rebuilding mode.
