Hopefully nobody reads this as another "should I upgrade to a SSD" thread.
I currently have an older Intel X25-M 120GB hard drive. Looking at the newer drives I see that there's been quite substantial increases to the speeds. I'm curious if anyone has any real world experience with upgrading an older SSD to a newer one and noticing any performance increases (not just benchmarking). I'm looking at upgrading to a Samsung 830 256GB. Below is a comparison of the speed ratings.
Intel X25-M 120GB
Sustained Sequential Read: up to 250MB/s
Sustained Sequential Write: up to 100MB/s
Samsung 830 256GB
Max Sequential Read: up to 520 MB/s
Max Sequential Write: up to 400 MB/s
The increases look great on paper but would they really be noticeable?
Thanks!
