    I had a bunch of stuff sitting here that I won in a contest to build a new desktop. 1 of the items was a Patriot Wildfire 120 SSD. I hated to see it sitting there waiting to be finished so I installed it in my laptop. Works pretty nice so far. Im just curious what kind of performance I can expect from it with my laptop not being sata 6? Ive done what tweaks I could. I still need to move the Users folder. I ran CrystalDiskMark and got 263+ MB/s read and 182 MB/s write for speeds. Just wondering if this sounds about right?

    250MB/s+ sounds reasonable to me. Not sure about the write speed. What if you do the test with a "zero" or "one" fill instead of random data (File-> Test data)?

    Do you already have the latest firmware for your SSD? Is your SSD's partition aligned? (check with AS SSD benchmark application - it should mention OK or BAD)
