Putting in a vote for "yes". I use a 2010 Core i5 15" MBP. I upgraded the internal drives by replacing the optical drive with a 120GB SSD and the internal drive with a 1TB Western Digital. The SSD acts as my boot drive and runs my OS and holds the "working files" that I'm using, along with any apps I run. The 1TB drive holds media (video, music, photos) and archived projects. Works great and it's a huge speed boost. Way more noticeable for me than switching from 4GB to 8GB RAM.
