Try the disk in a core 2 duo and you will notice some major difference. Also if you have a crappy atom computer , you have more likely a cpu bottleneck.

Beat that if you can. For your knowledge my Hp 2510 with 1.8inch disk took 45seconds. (1.8inch are slower) So it depends what ssd you buy there are good ones as well as crappy ones.

I did so without issue and after using it for a while I can say without hesitation it's a disappointment. Purely from a user standpoint I don't find it any fster than my old 5400rpm HDD and my Acer doesn't last any longer on the battery than it did before the install. I don't see any advantage to paying 3 to 4 times the price except that you no longer have to defrag the SSD and it is less prone to movement damage if dropped etc. I'd simply stick to a 7200rpm HDD for the price. I think we've all been sold a "bill of goods" on how great SSD's are.... BS. After reading all the hype about SSDs I purchased an Intel SSD to install in my Acer Aspire One.
