@carnivorx I think for some people, it's difficult being conversational to a machine which is recording your face. I think he's trying to fake a conversational mood instead of sounding like he's reading stuff off a paper.

Are you talking to a 5 year old or adults?

@CantSeemToThink That actually sounds like a good idea.

Exactly man! The sequential read/write speed is bullshit, it's not how OS is using disk. The thing to look at is IOPS with 4kB random read/write. For me the sweet spot was with 160GB Intel 320.

@SeltsamerAttraktor Or you can get a hybrid solution like Seagate Momentu that is big and fast. It has heuristics that put frequenlty used data in the flash part and the rest on magnetic plates. Also such disks often use the faster memory - SLC instead of the common MLC.

@AppA 3Gb/s is possible on SSD with sequential reads - see OCZ Vertex 3 - although I woudl not recommend this disk as I have bad experiences with OCZ SSD disk and have read plenty of bad reviews and dirty marketing/etc. tricks ("lies") about them.
So it is just an example to prove that SATA II is not enough nowadays.

The controller is the part of SSD that concerns me. For example, Apple OSX works with only one - or maybe only a limited number - of controllers - and what the heck are the better controllers - or does it make absolutely no difference for the most part?
Your direction to check out sequential vs non-sequential reads was handy - but I do wonder at your buying a 40gig SSD HD. What could you even fit on so small an HD?

@AppA Yeah, the file system cache. Similar, maybe, but different.
