Only Microsoft can make a small utility worse.

I've read the same as well. The random read times are MUCH less with SSD's than standard HD's, especially since they don't have to seek a spinning disk.

On top of that, I can load Doom II in 0.35 seconds! Much better than the 5 minutes it took on my old 486.


(And just to note for the Grammar police, the use of the apostrophes above is perfectly legal, as I am using them to pluralize acronyms.)

Sorry, misconception.

The apostrophe is legal if being used in a non-noun context and has 'internal punctuation'. Therefore, SSD's is still a possessive form, whereas SSDs is plural. If an acronym is all lower case or you're pluralizing a lower case letter, then the apostrophe is required.

Correct: x's
Wrong: X's
Correct: HDs, OSs, OSes
Wrong: HD's, OS's
Correct: ME
Wrong: YOU!
