    Aside from the obvious capacity difference between the intel 310 40GB and 80GB models, there is also a large read/write difference. The 80GB has twice as fast write speeds than the 40GB.

    I ordered a 40GB model before I knew about the speed difference. Will I notice any real life difference with the 40GB and its slower read and write?
