performance gain with SSD isn't significant in normal use but it is quite noticable on boot up... time..around 30 sec compared to over a minute with original harddrive.


orginal harddrive benchmark...

solid state drive...averag e transfer rate is almost 3X faster and access time is down to .4 ms from 17.2. :o
