First Benchmark Test of MacBook Pro SSD

http://www.macbytes.com/link.php?sid=20081103091031

We finally found some time to run a proper test of the Samsung SSD installed as a BTO in the MacBook Pro. Hereafter are the tests we have performed:







In reading mode, (108 MB/s), the SSD is faster than any 2.5" HD, and is not that far from the performance level available from 3.5" Velociraptor. In writing mode, with transfer speed of 60 MB/s, it is not as fast as a Velociraptor; however it remains higher performance level. Random access times in reading/writing mode are also excellent.

On a more user-oriented benchmarking, the SSD is much more responsive than a 2.5" HD. Booting time as well as launching applications is completed in a breath, even with Photoshop CS4. Indeed, despite Adobe claims or limitations, one can install the CS4 Suite without any problem on a SSD. We will continue our tests and keep you posted.

would like to see vista running on this

very nice
