Now, you may be saying "DUDE! That's awesome!" and yes, it is, compared to platters

???

I'm saying "which co-worker swiped your SSDs while you weren't looking?". Quick test here, I rebooted Vista and opened Office apps, with a stopwatch timer in the other hand, rounded to closest half a second the results are:

Word: 3s, Excel: 2s, Outlook: 3.5s (no mail in it), OneNote: not present, PowerPoint: 2.5s

That's from a 5400rpm WD Blue laptop drive, on a Core 2 Duo laptop.



Now that's just hurtful.
