Just bought an M4 and my motherboard is SATA2 only

I see what you mean.

My old iPod touch's screen looked stunning, and then came the Retina display.

Well, I guess switching from HDD to SSD is a huge improvement in any case, right?

This is kind of funny actually because I did the same thing a few months ago. All I can say is that this thing is still pretty fast and light years ahead of an HDD. But I mainly bought one because their so reliable (NEVER buying OCZ again!).

F.Y.I. the write speeds are largely unaffected by SATA II on this drive.

Because its write speed is not that fast (for an SSD) to begin with?

If you'll be reading from and writing to the same SSD. it will be much faster than a hard disk, but it probably won't reach 95MB/s. Is copy-paste files the sole purpose of getting an SSD?

No, it's not the purpose at all.
I bought an SSD not because I need specifically an SSD, but because I needed another hard disk, and not for the extra GBs.

I currently have 2 operating systems installed on my HDD, both of which are Mac OS X Lion.

I would like to install Windows 7 for video games but I can't have another partition of a different scheme on that HDD, so I'll move both current OSs to the SSD and install Windows on the current HDD.

The cheapest HDD I found is 300 shekels (160GB) and the M4 64GB is 380 shekels, so I figured it's time to upgrade.
