    This is my Intel G2 HDTune result:

    2 things are strange.
    The throughput doesn't go over 200 MB/sec.
    And the dip at the beginning.

    Is there anyone with an Intel G2 80GB (as bootdisk) on a notebook with Windows 7 32 bit?
    If so please post a HDTune (free) shot.

    I've found more info about the strange dip I get at the beginning.

    change block size to 1mb or 2mb in option/benchmark you will get higher numbers.

    Still the dip in the beginning, which according to the guys at Hardforum is caused by data being on the drive.

    HD Tune is a lousy test for SSD's anyways, you should use something better like AS SSD.
