SSD performance

Unfortunately, I have lost the performance data I gathered when I upgraded my Mac mini with an SSD. Even with a Time Machine backup there will always be dataloss when moving over to a new hard drive. Here are some quick impressions about the upgrade.

I don’t know whether the improvements are due to the SSD or my other recent upgrade: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. I do know, however, that I did an incremental updated from Mac OS X 10.6.0 to 10.6.1 in 46 seconds—including a reboot! That is pretty impressive.

My Mac mini boots up even before my screen turns on. I don’t have to wait for anything anymore. Applications are more responsive and I have‘t seen the copying dialog more than a couple of times since upgrading.

The upgrade was definitely worth the cost.
