Show us your SSD performance

I just received it. A shopping helper email.

BAH!

Sorry, the promo code BETEKEHG28 you've entered is invalid.

I found out why. I just went back and re read the email. Sorry

Oh well. Thanks for trying.

A coupon so you will buy more stuff!

That's why I'm broke. And it's also why they keep sending the emails.

Just got an 80GB Intel 320 Series SSD in my Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. It's a Core 2 Duo at 2.4Ghz, running 4GB of RAM and Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit.

Quick video of a reboot, from power out to Word running on Desktop, 32 seconds; Essentially no tweaks. Only what I need running from msconfig, superfetch is disabled per Intel, everything else is default.

Dave, on extreme systems they have been testing SSDs. The Intel finally got to a 99% wear out, but it took 11.6TB of writes to do it. I don't think I could do that if I was trying. There is some really interesting info on how SSDs and trim actually work.

I've been following that thread, very interesting.

Pretty sure the wear out % is a count down, just looked at post #121 the 'Media Wearout indicator 89', then on post #158 the 'Media Wearout indicator 88' with 20TB Host Writes.
It's got a long ways to go...

I'm just about ready to order. Waiting on the new Newegg email to check it for what else is on sale.

Good decision, you will never question it, in fact you will ask yourself why you didn't do it sooner.
It is a truly amazing performance upgrade.
Your rig will feel like it's flying...

Looks great
That's very close to the same as my Dell Studio 1737.
Just put my X25-V 40GB in it and it flies now, seems like a new laptop.
It's got two drive bays, so was able to keep the original 320GB HDD.

I took the plunge.

Nice choice, congrats.

Let us know when it arrives

Great choice. You won't be sorry. Post some scores when you get it installed. Congrats!
