i'm not sure if that's sarcasm or not. a 27% improvement in computer terms is a massive improvement. Find me another piece of hardware that would net you a 27% improvement in anything, from boot up time, to frame rate in a game....
the loss in storage capacity in a desktop is a moot point with desktops, because large capacity storage is so readily available and cheap. for example, a 1TB Western Digital Cavier Black is only $80 right now - for a high performance HDD. But if you are using it purely for storage, a 2TB Cavier Green is even cheaper at $75.
