Kingston 40gb SSD benchmarks

[cory1234]

Just thought I would share the benchmark results of my new Kingston 40gb SSD with the intel controller.

HD tune 2.55

Average transfer rate: 212.8MB/sec
Access time: 0.1 ms
CPU usage: 1%

Wow, windows 7 already loaded fast, but this SSD dropped a good 10 secconds of the starting time. I feel like I have a whole new system. Best $85 you can spend for your system if you haven't made the plunge to ssds or are unsure of the value.

Could you post the numbers of your old drive? For comparison purposes

I have the same drive, new build. Gigabyte motherboard, i5 750. When the bios picture dissapears Win7 and Ie8 load connected to Google news in 9 seconds. From a cold/hot reboot including the bios picture(loading) its 19 seconds. The bios picture is there for almost 10 seconds. My old setup with fresh win7 seagate 320 , 7200 rpm drive from cold start 46 seconds. That time was about 10 seconds faster than my 1 year old vista 64 install.
