The boost is not caused from the high transfer-rates, but from the nearly 0 ms seek times. Starting Visual Studio and Photoshop at the same time - no time penalty any more for doing this :-) <br><a href="http://www.homewavz.com/solid_state_harddrives.html" rel="nofollow">Solid state hard drives</a> I'm using an Intel X25 for about nine month now, and it still blasts – it's like upgrading from an 486 to a decent Quad-CPU.

We have installed the Intel 160GB X25 in both platforms as well as many desktop boxes and had great success. We only have one Lenovo ThinkPad in the company and it is used by my Director of Software Engineering, Dr. Perry Reinert. We initially put an Intel SSD in Perry’s ThinkPad, but he needed more space than 160GB. We replaced the Intel with an OCZ (240GB I think) and it worked well in Windows Vista Ultimate. Perry upgraded to Windows 7 and he ran into problems and had to reinstall everything - not a SSD issue, but a Windows upgrade issue. He has been running fine for a few weeks since his Windows 7 install. <br> <br>One thing we have noticed is that with time the performance of a SSD degrades a little. This is a well documented occurrence with SSDs given the current way a SSD addresses unused memory areas of the device. Windows 7 uses the “trim” command that minimizes this performance degradation: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM</a> <br> <br>Thanks again for the note and I hope this helps!

I think the Intel drives are much faster than whatever Lenovo is using in the Thinkpad. Do you know if its relatively easy to upgrade a Thinkpad drive with the faster Intel SSD? What laptops do you folks use at InfusionSoft?
