Lucas123 writes "Computerworld compared four disks, two popular solid
state drives and two Seagate mechanical drives, for read/write
performance, bootup speed, CPU utilization and other metrics. The
question asked by the reviewer is whether it's worth spending an
additional $550 for a SSD in your PC/laptop or to plunk down the extra
$1,300 for an SSD-equipped MacBook Air? The answer is a resounding No.
From the story: "Neither of the SSDs fared very well when having data
copied to them. Crucial (SSD) needed 243 seconds and Ridata (SSD) took
264.5 seconds. The Momentus and Barracuda hard drives shaved nearly a
full minute from those times at 185 seconds. In the other direction,
copying the data from the drives, Crucial sprinted ahead at 130.7
seconds, but the mechanical Momentus drive wasn't far behind at 144.7
seconds."
