    Personally, after using an SSD for my windows system, its very hard for me to go back to an HDD, I use it only for store data now. :)

    I have 1TB Samsung 5400rpm 12mm thick and I really do not bother with any benchmarks
    When I transferring files from SSD to HDD it shows 600MB/s then 300MB/s then 100MB/s and it will stop on 85-75MB/s
    It's working it OK

    Same. SSD just provides features you can't match with an HDD. The only HDD I use is my external for backups and storage.

    Where are you seeing these figures? No HDD can read or write at 600MB/s, no laptop HDD will even sustain 600Mb/s (75MB/s)...

    Probably just write caching going on there. I've seen similar starting numbers with the latest drivers while using my JMB36x eSATA card.
