Mbp stock ssd vs brand new ssd

[Lethalbeaver]

So you can order an ssd in your mbp from apple. But that isn't necessarily the fastest one you can get, and all the tests that I see just compare the numbers, numbers are great and all but what does real world performance look like when you have a +/- 200something reads/write per second. For example how much longer would it take it to boot, launch a program such as FCP or final cut pro, or gaming on it. Is it a noticeable difference?

For typical everyday use and casual gaming a user will not normally notice a difference. A lot depends on configuration and intended use. I see you mention Final Cut Pro. Popular with the Apple/MAC crowd. Haven't seen or read any information about what an ssd can do for the application. If it is similar to other video editing software, then some processes will be speeded up.

An ssd will not improve actual game play and it will not improve FPS. The only thing that happens is that the game will launch faster and levels, maps, or charts will load faster. If you participate in online gaming, then the ssd will not improve anything. You'll still be at the mercy of your Internet Service Provider.
