you said 'mechanical hard drives' not 'mechanical hard drives with sata-2 interface, that fit into a laptop'... 8) the way you said it is simply wrong!

so all i'm saying is that if you search for a hard drive for your os on a desktop computer, the sas interface indeed is an option, even price/performance wise considering the prices of the faster ssds around. but even for laptops there are mechanical drives that beat your proclaimed 75mb/s minimum dtr...

@rake: sure sequential read/write speeds are only part of the picture, but this is all the information we have for the for the ssd from the beginning of this thread, right?

i dont have to specify what connection, what speed it syncs at, and what color sata cable we used. this topic is related to the SSD, therefore its easy to assume we're talking comparisons to what its replacing - 2.5" or 3.5" HDD's on the same interface.

link to this 2.5" drive with these speeds, as the minimum speed. no burst speeds, no peak speeds - a drive that can maintain that across the entire drive like an SSD.

no, that is not all teh information we have. SSD's access times shit all over a mechanical drive so bad, they dont bother to mention it - its not neccesary as its impossible for any mechanical drive to catch up to ANY SSD in access times.
