Just curious whether people bother upgrading SSDs? (Unless it's to get a higher capacity) I still use an Intel X25-M G2 for my Linux system and it's doing just fine. There's no deterioration on the wear indicator and things still launch instantly. Even low end budget SSDs are "faster" in benchmarks nowadays but has anyone gone from one of these ancient SSDs to a new one on the same machine and actually noticed any real world difference?

Thanks for the inputs. The OSes do seem to have compensated a little (when I got the Intel, which was my first SSD, things were absolutely instant. There are seconds involved now, oh no!) but I think it does us a favour that most cheapo consumer stuff that 99% of the population buy is still with a spinning hard drive, so software has to be optimised with that in mind. And a 5-6 year old SSD will have no problem at all completely wiping the floor with a spinning HDD in any type of performance. I found it interesting as I read a review of a current budget SSD and it was like "enthusiasts won't like it but...." - however, although the benchmarks were 'poor' compared to high end modern SSDs, they were way way better than the X25M G2... which indeed still seems absolutely fine.
