Show us your SSD performance

It has been running at that speed before you all posted but thanks for the information just the same. I am not that uninformed about Bios settings.

No problem. That's why we're here to help. :)

Rumors are that PCIe will be the standard connection for SSDs soon

Hmm, how would that work on laptops?

PS: The postman just brought a Vertex2 from Newegg for my last laptop that was not SSDd yet. This is the first time they have included a bracket for installation in a 3.5" bay. I thought that was a nice addition.

Good point.

Have read that on a few forums, currently being pushed by business for their servers, will trickle down to us later.

Suppose they will come up with a suitable better connection for laptops.

Dave, very interesting article - thanks. Virtual reps for it because I first have to spread some.

Whilst the Revo drive is an impressive device for moving data around, it does not impress me more than a Vertex2 for the OS operations. From the data I have seen up to now, the operation of the OS in "normal mode" does not seem to be any faster than my Vertex2. I get 16 second boot times too and programs load instantly.

Shawn mentioned that it makes a big difference for Virtual Partitions though. That I cannot compare. And at 240GBs, you probably use it a lot for data also - and there the blazing R/W speeds count. But again, if you only want to speed up your Windows7, a much cheaper Vertex will do the same job.

PS: your i7 950 and the 12GBs of 1600MHz RAM probably contribute to the performance too. I only have an i7 740QM and 4GB of RAM.

Glad you liked it, thought it was an interesting article.

Virtual reps virtually accepted, thanks
