Windows 7 Hard Drive and SSD Performance Analyzed

bigwophh writes "Despite the fact that Windows 7 is based on many of the same core elements as Vista, Microsoft claims it is a different sort of animal and that it should be looked at in a fresh, new light, especially in terms of performance. With that in mind, this article looks at how various types of disks perform under Windows 7, both the traditional platter-based variety and newer solid state disks. Disk performance between Vista and Win7 is compared using a hard drive and an SSD. SSD performance with and without TRIM enabled is tested. Application performance is also tested on a variety of drives. Looking at the performance data, it seems MS has succeeded in improving Windows 7 disk performance, particularly with regard to solid state drives."

    This is like saying "I run faster then a snail". While true, it doesn't prove much.

    I can't tell if it's true or not. When I run your code through my interpreter it's gives the following error:
     

    ERROR 317: Malformed sentence
    Expected verb after "snail"

    Please fix and resubmit.
