Yes, sequential write performance isn't that important. It isn't irrelevant, but if you're buying an SSD for that responsiveness feeling, you want to focus more on random 4KB write performance. Whereas even a 10k Raptor will struggle to deliver more than 3 or 4MB/s in random 4K write, my RAID0 SSD array manages over 50MB/s.
