    I had 1 until today.. and yea the 2nd does speed it up a bit
    can you define a bit? 10% better, 20% better, 1% better. A straight up file copy from 1 folder to another should be much faster. What about booting windows, launching applications or playing games? My guess is that would all be about the same.
