Nice results!
 
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.

    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?

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

    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!

    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!! 😃
