Test and Using Internal SSD 240G SanDisk Ultra II (SATA3) Dell Latitude D630 Core2Duo 2GHz Compared to Seagate 5400Tmn / 150GB Hitachi and 7200Tmn / SATA2 120GB on only, the original disk that has been cloned for testing and replacement being 5400 / 150GB Seagate. This disc has a Grub boot partition with Windows XP (32bit) and Fedora 20 (linux 64bit). I tried to take the timer starts and stops at the same time of course, or after the grub menu waiting and the implementation of the wifi on windows and Fedora (it's not a race in both OS but just additional time). The time for the start of XP for the 7200T is 60sec. On the XP 5400T starts in 88 sec. and stops in 19 sec. Fedora 76 sec. and 9 sec. On the XP SSD starts in 40 sec. and stops in 17 sec. Fedora 18 sec. and 3 sec. One perceives better improvement with Fedora 64bit XP with this old but it is there that improves SSD performance and silence of the machine. The packaging is minimalist but well designed so little waste with good protection disc also comes with a plastic sticker framework to find a 9 mm thickness for slightly older computers like mine or leave it 6 mm for new hairline. The build quality is simplified in any case the SSD range is "plastic" but I prefer to think that the interior is still in the SanDisk quality that I enjoyed in their USB sticks. It lacks a cloning software in the box but SanDisk recommends software Apricon® EZ Gig IV but does not provide the I have successfully used that of another brand: Acronis provided in an upgrade kit with another SSD. In conclusion: if we consider the current improvement in capacity / price, in speed, power consumption and heat generation and strength (no moving parts compared to older) I would say this SSD to 95 Euros the 240GB version is a good deal for a little over mobile upgrades like mine.
