Was SSD faster than HDD? The tests were done on a Laptop - Fujitsu P1610 Intel 1.2GHz ULV Core Solo with 1GB RAM. Also, pointed out that it will vary depending on the OS and packages of course. You will have to buy the mag to read the complete article :) I have to get going here but the results are as follows: Grub to login 4200rpm: 50sec. SSD: 34sec. Login to Desktop 4200rpm: 59sec. SSD: 23sec. Untar Kernel 2.6.22 4200rpm: 66sec. SSD: 53sec. Suspend to Disk 4200rpm: 75sec. SSD: 50sec. Grub to Resume 4200rpm: 83sec. SSD: 38sec.
