Show us your SSD performance 2

Thos numbers look good, truckinguy. good job.

Watch out - with those nums you may get whiplash.

you need at least a 15k drive to get close to a slow ssd

Even such a disk would still be a lot slower than any SSD. Reason is the much slower access time on a spinning disk.

An average SSD has an access time of 0.1ms and a spinner would range from 10ms to 15ms - thus being 100 to 150 times slower.

Yes it is in a Dell E6530. 8 gb memory. I also have a 840 Pro 256 gb in my Media Bay for storage. I tried to set the bios to ACHI but it gave me a hard time. It wouldn't boot in ACHI and ended up using the bios setting's that Dell had setup with the HDD.

Did you try this? AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista

some of the drives for servers have over 6GB of cache and can read write close to what a cheap ssd can.

But only if what you are looking for happens to be in the cache. Else you are stuck with a 15ms (on average) access time which is 150 times slower than the average SSD.
