This is starting to become a personal attack. My point was only ever about improvement level. I never one made a point about access times or latency. I do question random reads when dealing with properly defragged discs. But again its not about whether it was an improvement but whether its an efficient and cost effective upgrade considering the limitation of the controller. But i guess SSDs are the new "IT" devise and people on a tech forum cant have intelligent conversations about technology if someone even suggests it might not be the best upgrade in this one use case.
As for the OP gratz on your decision. Hope you enjoy it.
SSD's are the best upgrade you can get though. Anyone who says otherwise either hasn't experienced one or did not install their correctly.
I just got the Samsumg 830 256gb, and the difference was night and day coming from my shortstroked WD black raid 0. My old raid 0 had 7ms seek times, and plenty of read write speed, but this 256gb SSD is still giving me much better performance. It's ridiculous how fast this drive is, and I can't go back now after using one.
Need to buy one for my laptop now.
