Generally, yeah, but the exceptions are pretty significant.
Whether or not these use cases are common enough to disprove the "99% of the time" claim is debatable (these kinds of use cases may be far less than 1%) but regardless, check these out:
- 10x latency improvement in SQL Server stress tests between slowest and fastest SSD
- 3x rendering time improvement from slowest to fastest SSD
Now, for anything I do in my daily life as a software engineer? Yeah, SSDs were fast enough years ago. Only time I even scratched the surface of their performance was when I copied a VM from one drive to another.
