    Acer Aspire 5741G uses Intel latest Calpella structure.
    CPU is Intel Core i3-330M. The clock is 133 X 16 => 2.13GHz, L3 3MB, dual core and supports HT technology.
    The chipset is HM55. Comparing to GM45, I believe the performance will be much better.

    Performance test
    OS is Windows7 Ultimate 64Bit

    Size is 2.5” and ID is F60. The highest performance is 285/275 MB/s.
    Random 4K writing performance can reach 50000 IOPS which improve the 4K writing issue in past SSD.
