Yesterday I did an interesting entry in which he spoke of SSDs in comparison with conventional hard drives, and logically the advantage was overwhelming for the SSD except in capacity. But today it speaks very clearly.
The image you have above compare how long it takes to install Mountain Lion based on device, and the difference is totally bloody. Installation on a MacBook Pro with Retina Display takes 13 minutes, while on a MacBook Pro with a conventional hard drive it takes 55 minutes.
For some, capacity will be everything, and in that case I understand that they go from SSDs. But any other user You will always get more out of an SSD than a conventional hard drive, always.

It took 17 minutes on my MBP 15 »Mid 2010, with 128Gb SSD, 8Gb of RAM and a 1TB HDD
In my case it takes 9 min. on the imac (i7 3,4GHz, 12GB ram and 128 Samsung SSD) and one hour on a 13 ″ macbook pro (mid 2009) (I thought I had broken or something and without backup .. lol)
Mine seems like a joke. A message below says "211 hours and 17 minutes left" what to do?
I think it depends more on the internet connection than anything else. I have a macbook air mid2012 and a mega from the internet and it takes 18 hours to install it to its factory state!
did it work for you in the end?
18 hours??? noooOOoo !!! I have for a while T____T
did it work for you?
hello I have a macbook air and I have been installing OS X mountain lion for 1 day and it still tells me that it is 29 hours, any faster solution or can I just wait? helpaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
