Crucial 256Gb C300 RealSSD SSD W7 64-bit Startup Times vs. Samsung 7200RPM HDD w/ 16Mb Cache Video Clips. Duration : 9.93 Mins.


Ok guys. Here is the Crucial 256Gb C300 SSD in action. I do two comparisons with my old Samsung 7200RPM 16Mb Cache HDD. The first is to compare Windows startup times from hitting the power button to the desktop showing up. The second test is where I compare the ATTO benchmark results of the two drives. I am not entirely conviced that the SSD was worth the 0 I spent for it. The startup times seem pitiful as compared to what I've seen the drive do in some laptops. I can't imagine my computer having some kind of startup issue, but if anyone has an idea or a suggestion please comment below. The ATTO benchmark is a lot better then what I had with the Samsung, but how will that translate into real world performance? I was really expecting more from this purchase. Everyone talks about upgrading to an SSD is the single best performance boost that one can do for their computers. Again, I am not convinced... Well, enjoy the video and let me know if something sticks out in your mind as to something I could be doing wrong. Thanks for watching!
