Hi thanks for the test… was wondering if you did it on 60 or 120gb SSD? because the 60&80gb share the same componenets and the 120gb use different chips which prove to be even faster almost 90% compared to 60 and 80gb ssd’s

i’m still on the mechanical HDD’s opened photoshop cs5 and time was roughly 3 seconds … opened autocad 2012 time was roughly 15 seconds…. i’m thinking maybe the cpu or ram also contributes to make a difference as well?

It makes sense to have the OS boot off what is essentially a flash drive, much quicker. I see SSD's come with a SATA interface. Will they come out in USB3 too? Thanks again, your research is very helpful. Thanks for the info, I am building another PC for myself, and with your info, I will use a 120GB SSD.
