I have a lenovo G410 machine with windows 10, intel Core i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50GHz RAM 8 GB.
If a add an sdd to my machine, will it decrease the time spent in the static optimization, for example?

Thanks

An SSD will not improve the performance of SO much because SO does not perform many read/write operations on the hard drive, except to read the results in the beginning and to write them at the end. The critical resource for SO is the CPU.
