    Hi All,

    I got this laptop at Best Buy and it came with a 512 SSD Toshiba drive and I ran some tests on it. It seemed slow. The read Seq test came to 1500.55 MB/s and write speed came to 521.53 MB/s. The Samsung drives seem to be three times as fast! Love the laptop and got a good deal on it. Can I call HP and get a Samsung drive instead? I plan to do photo and video editing on it. TIA

    No point - the difference is not noticeable in actual use.

    If you are doing video editing you will notice it. Anything else you won't. Thats from someone who owns the: SM961, PM961, SM950, PM950 an a bunch of others
