It took me awhile to get around to doing so, but I finally replaced my computers aging 320GB HDD with this 500GB WD SSD. My system startup times got a boost from the normal 08:56 minutes to 01:28 minutes! That's a 600% increase in performance (for me anyway). Applications start almost instantly also now. Just note that if you purchase this SSD for a desktop machine, you will also need a 2.5" to 3.5" bracket to mount the device.
