- My results after testing.
- My system is a Dell inspiron 530 manufactured in November 2007 (5 years old at the time of this posting)
- Before SSD install using a 5 year old 250GB Seagate HDD

| 5 year old 250 GB Seagate HDD |
 |
| Pretty decent for a 5 year old drive. |
After SDD install
This is a Sata III SSD running on a Sata II Motherboard, So I know I would not see the marked 450 MB/s Read / Write on my system.
 |
| Very nice speed compared to the HDD. |
- December 26 2012 Update:
- The SSD is still working just fine, I've very satisfied with it's performance. I would most certainly recommend this drive for improved OS speeds.
