Intel SSD vs 7200 Hard Drive - CS4 Install

Intel® Solid-State Drives (Intel® SSDs) represent a revolutionary breakthrough that delivers a giant leap in storage performance. Intel Solid-State Drives are designed to satisfy the most demanding business professional, media creators, and technology enthusiasts. These new drives bring a high level of performance and reliability to desktop and notebook PC storage, at a fraction of the cost of the previous generation of Intel® SSD products.




Wait Less--Do More

Why wait for a traditional hard disk drive to spin up? Unlike traditional hard disk drives, Intel solid-state drives have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers faster system responsiveness. SSDs offer instant access to the drive which means that computer boot time is dramatically reduced.

Shame this is being run on XP. If this was Windows 7 it would be a whole lot faster due to the fact Windows 7 takes full advantage of SSDs and XP does not.

@SOF006 - I agree but when this test was done Windows 7 was not released yet. Thanks

To: NaplesTech, great comparison but how does SDD work when surfing the net her its a lot slower!

None of my business, but I think you need to upgrade to Windows 7 since it supports TRIM. TRIM keeps your drive space free whenever you add/delete things. Otherwise, your drive gets full and becomes useless. Just my opinion, but worth checking out just in case I'm right. Win XP does NOT support TRIM. I just migrated my system from Win XP with a HD to Windows 7 with an Intel SSD.  Works great so far. Good luck man.

Heh now imagine the same comparation but..

Vertex 2 vs HDD, the Intel models are slow on writing (instalaltion) and of top of that toss WIN7 instead of XP and you will get like 2x faster installation.

@loasolidsnakemgs you should be aware that the reason that SSDs are purchased isn't because of the read/write speeds it's because of the seek times you can boot operating systems and load programs allot faster then a regular hard drive

[loasolidsnakemgs]

Quick Conclusion: SSD Won't be truely worth buying until the majority of them have speeds of 1400 MB/s (1.4 GB/s), such as OCZSSDPX-ZD2P881T. Generally, the ones that are actually affordable read/write at speeds twice as much as hard discs. That being said, if you want the speed, and you need to compare it with something, compare it with a 15000 RPM HD, with a SSD of the same storage capacity and figure out which one is right for you.

These things aren't that great yet, but they will be.
