    Very good article.
  2. So according to your test results A-DATA S596 Turbo 32 GB seems like an optimal system drive for desktop:

    * 32 GB is far enough as a system takes just a few GB (say 3-4 GB), so total retail price is more important, than per GB
    * notably speeds up boot-up and also makes applications start faster
    * write speed is not an issue, as there are virtualy no writes (most writes goes to ramdisks or to conventional data disk, not to system disk)
    * concurrent read is not an issue at all (not many parallel reads)

    Can anybody either confirm or refute this feeling?
