I haven't noticed any speed difference, but it's also a 6 GB drive, so I assume that makes a difference. Another note about this netbook: I took it out to the parking lot to test the WiFi range and proceeded to drop it 2-3 feet to the asphalt. There's a noticeable dent in the corner. but not a hitch in the operation. Solid state drives have advantages for the average klutz.
