skoshi,
how fast is the hd read access on the ssd drive ?
sata is in the usually in the range of 100-150 mb/sec (burst speed), and 70 to 120 average read (my sata drive runs at 117 burst and 80 average for ex)
a good free proggy to benchmark it with is hdtach (

would be interesting to see what the sd drive does in a modern pc.
