We’ve seen a lot of interest in our C300 SSD from Apple users, so we put two identical MacBooks side by side to show the huge performance gains possible with a RealSSD C300 drive. There are a lot of thorough performance benchmarks out there—our effort here was to create a simple video that shows what [...]

I haven’t used a Macintosh that didn’t have an internal hard drive since I played around with a Macintosh Plus in 1986. Now the 13″ MacBook Pro that I use here at the office is missing one … and I couldn’t be happier.

A lot of people are excited about the C300 demos we posted yesterday, and number of you asked to see the random write IOPs numbers for the new drives. So I’ve asked one of our Apps guys, Todd, to take some video of the C300 running through the IOMeter test.
By now you’ve seen the benchmarks, but to show you how that speed translates to the real world, we pitted our 256GB C300 SSD against a 7200rpm HDD in identical systems. We then tackled a handful of everyday tasks—boot up, file copy, and opening large files in Adobe® Photoshop®.
To prove it, we ran a few standard benchmarking tools (PCMark Vantage’s disk suite and the classic disk benchmark ATTO) on identical systems
