But my though was if you can access a SSD faster than a standard HD the the software on the box should respond quicker, I was thinking the TiVo boxes. I find the V6 quite quick as it is

Between the 1TB V6 and 1TB TiVo I'd expect the hard drives to be roughly the same spec, yet the V6 is much faster than the TiVo box. That's due to the other parts of the box, not the disk drive.
