    Ssd in sata 2 runs at sata 1speed? Vs hdd in sata 2


    Hi
    Recently fitted an SSD but didnt feel i was seeing the performance increase boot program load times as later determined it was running in sata 1 despite being in a sata 2 port? I couldnt find a fix for that here despite some assistance from helpful members, so decided to crystalmark the two to determine the best choice for OS boot drive and here are the results.
    SSD running in sata 1 the SSD still appears to be ahead.
    Based on the results of the two Is the best option the SSD or HDD for OS boot drive ?


    Thanks

    No doubts that the SSD is a better choice.

    The SSD is 3 times faster than the HDD.
