    According to benchmarks run by several members it seems that laptops with Intel HM55 and PM55 can not take full advantage of fast SSDs. These chipsets are very common in modern notebooks. The performance hit is especially visible in 4K random read and write performance.

    Are people with SSDs in their Macbook Pros getting similar capped performance at 4K random read & write?
