Are the SSD HD's really so good? I am not still not sure ;/
Yup! Without a doubt!
The top benchmark is my SSD, the bottom is my HDD.
I am only running a motherboard with SATA 3Gb/s (300 MB/s) ports, although my drives are capable of 6Gb/s. So I am hitting a bottleneck on my SSD approaching the speed limit of SATA 3Gb/s. Even at that, it was like getting a new computer when I swapped in the SSD for my boot, Windows 10 now boots in a few seconds. Same with loading Sonar!
My 7200RPM HDD does not even come close to maxing out the port speed, due to the spinning disk access time slowing down the data transfer. Look at the random speed tests (the 2nd and 4th rows of each test).
Is A SATA 3Gb/s Platform Still Worth Upgrading With An SSD?(There is a benchmark test in this article that shows how even a WD VelociRaptor 10,000RPM drive doesn't stand a chance against SSD.
