The random write performance is the achillies heel of all “laptop” SSD devices. Unlike the enterprise equivalents there is always a MASSIVE disconnect between random read and random write.

In general you will find that today’s “laptop” SSDs are not worth the money, unless you are doing some seriously read intensive work.

Think about having your windows pagefile on one of these devices, and you will see worse end user performance than from a standard HDD.

For now, the only option is to spend many thousands of $ on an enterprise device if you want to see end user performance gains – even at home.
