| Centrino Laptop + IDE SSD = even slower?
Dell Inspirion 510m
Current spec: 1.7ghz, 1.5gb ram, 60gb 5400rpm IDE, Winxp Pro
There's nothing wrong with it, it has been properly maintained, but loading stuff (ex: multi IE tabs, installing programs) takes a bit longer time.
Picked up a kingspec 32gb IDE SSD and problems begin. Read quite a few reviews and not a single complaint on its speed or loading time, in fact, SSD should outperform any IDE drive in normal operation. I tried cloned-XP, fresh installed XP, and Ubuntu, bootup time is short, but then the HD LED goes solid for 2-5 minutes, even the taskbar clock stops ticking, no response.
It has never happened before, even the 10 yrs old IDE HD with 25mb/s write speed would not give me that problem. I've disabled restore points, virtual memory, defragment, and clean up all startup application. Any idea why is it constantly reading something?

You might be encountering the stuttering issue that plagued early SSD's. Where there wasn't enough buffer memory and it would cause the OS to lag.

IDE is also lacking the technologies like TRIM, NCQ, etc.
