Is it worth putting Windows 8 on a SSD or is the boot-up time fast enough already?

I thought the whole reason behind the OS being on the SSD was boot time? Asking this cus I wanna be able to fit as many of my games on there as possible alongside the OS

Windows itself will take up around 30GB once you go through all the updates, etc. So maybe 1 game difference.
But the SSD benefit is far more than just boot time. All your applications run faster. AV, image editing, etc, etc. The whole system feels snappier.
Adding in lower heat, noise, vibration. Add in greater reliability....

If you didn't put the OS (and other stuff) on it, what were you planning to use it for?

Right. But it should, IMHO, also have the OS on it.
