Here is some real data to chew on about what I got out of overclocking this computer.

Ya! You will be happy with your SSD. Also anytime you can get them for 50 cents or less per GB right now, it's a good price. I own 3. ADATA 256, Kingston 120GB and OCZ 240GB. I only care about 4k reads and writes and the ones I have are NOT at the bottom end. They are mid to high range (comparible results with other SSDs out there) when testing with AS-SSD.

Please god don't run a lot of benchmarking on your SSDs. Each NAND cell in the SSD has a lifespan measured in write/erase cycles (NAND is the stuff that holds data.) This means, when you write to the drive you wear the drive that much closer to failure. Benchmarking puts a ton of unneeded write/erase cycles on the drive... Truly, there is almost no need to benchmark your SSDs. You will physically notice a significant difference in performance over even Raptors HHDs. I've never used the 15k RPM drives like Cheetahs so I can't comment on the difference in feel from those, but SSDs should give 2x to 3x the read/write speeds, so you should still 'feel' the improvement.

I agree and I understand that already. I did run AS-SSD 2 or 3 times to get benchmarks. I don't run it consistantly nor do I need to benchmark them, imo ever again. I wanted to see the difference between the models and what the manufacture claims when compared to actual results.

On that note, I will share: Through an email to the manufactor the results they say, for example, 85000 iops with 4k, is acutally 4k-64bit thread, NOT a 4k thread. Big difference there. I'm getting geeky, but I'd like to share what Marketing schemes are out there, in order for you good folk to get the proper picture from someone who already did the foot work.

Sorry, my post was mostly just a shout out for dudes who are new to ssd

No offense was taken at all. You are totally awesome for sharing. And, you are completely right. More than anything I was agreeing with you. People new to SSDs don't get that you can do SO much damage (strip away the life of the drive) with what is normal outside the SSD world. HDD are not the same as SSD at all. Thanks for caring bro! *hugs* back at ya!
