Intel Pits HDD Against SSD in Human Productivity Faceoff
Intel takes a look at what its SATA 6Gb/s SSD can do for productivity in an office environment.
If you're reading Tom's Hardware, you're probably well aware of the advantages of a solid state drive over a traditional hard drive. However, not all users are as tech savvy. Many people have little to no idea of the difference an SSD could make to their system until they see the difference for themselves. Intel took a handful of office workers and gave them a 'productivity test,' pitting each worker against an actor using a machine with an SSD. Sadly, the video doesn't go as far as to reveal the truth to those featured, or even ask them what they thought of the difference in speed. Still, it's interesting to watch despite this. Check it out for yourself below:
Note that Intel rolled out this video shortly before the launch of its SATA III drives, but it's still amusing to see how the company is trying to convey a faster technology to the masses.

Wasn't too long ago this video would have been RAID0 vs regular hard drive. SSD's slap even my RAID0 around.
Yes, but in some ways even staged events better convey the actually benefits of something rather than soulless numbers.
You are confused.
If you're still waiting to make the switch, you've waited too long. Best performance gain for your money.
Just got a new SAN with all flash drives. Holy crap is all I a can say.
That "whoosh" noise was the sound of the joke going over your head.
LOL
O stop lying it opens your games faster so now you have more time to play games and ignore your work
Open mouth, insert foot. What good would a 10GB thunderbolt connection do, when your drive can only sustain 133mb? Ohh look how fast your computer is until the drive buffer of 32mb fills up in 1/100th of a second....
