Compare a good SSD, Samsung 840 to a normal PC using dual channel 1600MHz DDR3.
Maximum sequential read speed 0.5GB/s vs 25GB/s
Random read speed 0.01-0.1GB/s vs 3GB/s
Latency 30000-40000ns vs 6-65ns
So we're dealing with (best case) a bandwidth difference of factor 30 and a latency differnce of factor 500.
Now this isn't taking other things in to consideration, such as SSD performance degradation and the requirement of running garbage collection or trim.
