Maybe within this year I'll upgrade the HDD to another SSD.

But yeah its amazing, feels like brand new computer.
I did this to my Early 2011 MBP. Removed the Superdrive and relocated the stock 500GB HD there, and installed a 128GB OCZ SSD in the HD's original location.... also upgraded the RAM to 16GB. Put the OS and all my Apps onto the SSD, along with "always accessed" files like my iTunes folder, videos (porn), etc. Best upgrade ever IMO, my MBP was never really "slow" but the response time, especially for opening apps, video etc. became insane. Worth the upgrade, and I put the Superdrive in an external housing... never actually used it since 2012 lol.
