a good free proggy to benchmark it with is hdtach (http://www.simplisoftware.com/Public...request=HdTach)

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

Hi, tried to download HDTask, but it doesn't run under windows 7 64bit.

Using HT Tune Pro 4.01 my SATA II SSD drive measured a transfer rate of Minimum 136.9 MB/s (right at the begining of the test, most of the other lows were over 150 MB/s), Maximum of 209.5 MB/s and an average of 178.5 MB/s. It had a Access time 0f 0.1ms, and a burst rate of 211.7MB/s.

Trying to fit a useful system on 64GB drive is very hard! It fills up to fast!!!!


Gnomie, Hi! You could be right, I didn't test IL2 under just windows 7 without the SSD. But all up It was all a move in a positive direction.

Cheers!
