Well I finally have my Samsung 32GB Solid State Disk installed in the media bay of my laptop and boy is it quick. I bought it from Scan.co.uk - my usually hardware supplier and it turned up prompty as always.
I've yet to install an OS on it - just awaiting an external USB CD-ROM drive so that I can do an XP install but my initial thoughts are WOW.
I've done some basic benchmarking with h2wbench and the results are available here. To summarise the transfer rates are pretty reasonable - far better than I expected and the access times are beyond belief! The sooner the humble platter goes the way of the floppy disk the better.
More results once I've got XP install which should be later this week.
