I actually did the same trick (Using the same SSD as my old laptops motherboard failed) to revive a friends machine and it was a similar performance boost there too, and that had a reasonably good HDD in it to start with.

I guess the price for the transformation is that you have to backup more regularly. SSDs do fail and the so-called MTBF is not any kind of guarantee of longevity.
LATE EDIT: Here’s a stumbling block. I cannot get my Serial/USB connections to work. A TTL323 and FT323R - no drivers in Win10 and none I can find online. So I can’t use EQMOD or control my Moonlite focuser. Bummer. So I’ve reluctantly reinstalled my old HD until I can find a solution.
