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.
