When it comes to hard drive performance there is one area that even the most oblivious user notices: how long it takes to load the Operating System. While all the other tests were run with a Windows 7 operating system, this particular test uses another older test bed’s “day to day” OS (copied over to our new test bed) which has accumulated a lot of crud over the months from installs and removals. We chose the Anti-Virus splash screen as our finish line as it is the last program to be loaded on start up.
Nowadays it is darn hard to pick a bad SSD, but it still is possible. Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about this drive being a sub-optimal choice, instead we can honestly say that this is not only a good choice but a downright excellent one.
