Mike, If you are not writing then I would think a factor of about 5-7 times quicker and because you aren't writing substantial amounts then the disk will not suffer "SSD exhaustion" and failure. Having said that I have used my SSD for Microsoft SQL database holding on my development server now for some 2 years with no failures and I write to it a lot as I have to refresh it with live data for running tests. The DB is 100Gb in size on a 128Gb drive and it is about 5 times quicker than when the DB is on a normal Hard Drive.

Hmmm...by a factor of what I wonder? And this will still be the case for a mostly query-only operation, right? I'm pretty much just loading the data and querying against it.
