Well let me put it another way, trust every single reviewer or owner of an SSD or keep deluding yourself, your choice pal.
You can raid a 1000 mechanical drives and still never get near a single SSD with a Seek Time of less than 0.1ms.
Trust me you are not getting better performance from a mechanical drive.. I went from the Velociraptor to the Vertex and the difference is stunning, apps launch as if shot from a gun, games load in the blink of an eye and reboots at light speed.. no contest
I used the wiper.exe tool on my OCZ Vertex and now Falcon and it gets the ATTO benches back to fresh, is that a real indication that performance has been restored to a fresh drive in the real world or is there still some degradation not shown by ATTO?
