PCMark05 HDD Results
Longer bars are better
The HDD component of the PCMark05 benchmark suite zipped along on the VelociRaptor while the Raptor and Hitachi had nearly identical performance. Plugging a VelociRaptor into a decent PC will yield benefits on a day-to-day basis.
The other test we carried out was to copy files on each drive and once again the VelociRaptor won by a country mile. The Crucial SSD did well and pipped the Raptor, leaving the Hitachi 7K1000 in last place.

You could most likely treat the X61 that way, even if it had a mechanical hdd, and not the SSD device.
Ever hear of "Thinkvantage Active Protection"? It works, believe me.

well said Andy Bright!
couldn't have put it better meshelf!
;)
useless thanks
so why while you gave proper mb/s numbers you dont give anything that tests heavy random IO which, after all, where the SSD might show interesting benefits, or for example tests using two IO threads (for the gamers: think leeching your new game off a p2p net and recording something with fraps)
This is an interesting test, but oh so inconclusive, you stopped halfway!
