2 1/2 inch Samsung 850 Pro for the OS and in Rapid mode.
 


 


 
3 M.2 2280 SATA III Samsung EVO 250GB SSD's in RAID 0 for Data and Virtual Machines!
 


 
Samsung 512GB PM851 2280 M.2 SSD the one that came with the laptop in slot 5 and slot 5 only runs at SATA II speed which is only good for Storage and Back Ups even though the drive specs are SATA III.

Well it's exciting to want to get a  SSD even for this 2008 laptop. But I do know my next laptop will have a SSD in it or I;ll add to it like you have. LOLs Your setup is awfully awesome!! 😃

HDD's can't keep up to SSD's as you can see in your test now if you had a SSD you would NOTICE a BIG Difference in performance even on that laptop!

Yes Ram and Processors are more advanced as you say but I wouldn't have a clue about this bottleneck?

Hard drives were always the Bottleneck of most systems today the RAM and Processors are way to advanced for HDD's and the need for SSD's so I don't know what the new Bottleneck will be or is?
