Show us your SSD performance 2

Picked up a Brand new intel 160GB G2 on the bay for £90. still on SATA2 X58.. (waiting on ivy bridge)

Left - my 2 year old 80GB OS - Right - new 160GB for stuff

That was a good deal. They cost around $280 at Newegg

You know they're very good, Derek. Welcome to the SSD world. You'll love it. Congratulations.

Congrats Derek, no stopping you now

Welcome to the SSD club Derek. Overall those are excellent numbers. Only the 4K reads are a bit odd. On my 64GB M4 I get 20.3 - and the 64GB is slower overall. You might want to double check that (e.g. with Atto) because 4K reads is what the system does mostely.

This is my first SSD, Crucial M4 128GB just installed on my lappy, are these numbers any good?

No the numbers aren't good, they're great

Your lappy is one hot machine, enjoy.

Thanks guys. I'm happy :)

@Wolfgang, here's the ATTO test. looks pretty close to advertised read/write speeds.

Derek, The big block numbers look fine, but those are not really interesting for the OS. I am still puzzled by the 4K nums because this is what the system will use most of the time.

For comparison, here is my 64GB M4 which is supposed to be slower than the one you have. That was after I upgraded to FW 0309. Before it was a bit slower.
