OCZ Vertex Real-World Test Caught on Tape: SSD vs HDD
 

While all those benchmark charts displaying 200+mb/s read and 150+mb/s write are impressive to see, it's also good to actually have some idea of what that extra performance brings you in real life. We prepared two identical laptops with Windows 7 and Windows XP, one had a conventional HDD, the other a brand new OCZ Vertex SSD. The result is worth checking out.

wow what a difference :O :O
Next laptop is with SSD for sure !!! pity i can't swap the hdd :(

put it in your desktop, works just as well FYI :D

The problem is that i don't have a desktop anymore :D atleast for 2.5 years...

I checked google and it seems there might be a chance it would go :D
need to check it out in the future because i hate startup time when i am talking with a custumor.

grtz

ask massman how to swamp a HD from a laptop :naughty:.

the SSD is really something for in future, price/performance i dont know.
The Eee PC from a friend i had here some time ago, had 4GB flash HD did about the same like that SSD.

EEE PC has low end CPU; stick SSD in a higher end system to get the most from it ;)

yeah i know john, but u could see how it came to end with low-end cpu.

those SSDs in netbooks are low end, SD cards with build-in converter to SATA, they have very low I/O , nowhere near the performance level of these OCZ Vertex drives ;)

i see, though its nice that u tested it :D.
would work well for PC mark huh.

I'd say yes;)
