RE: Experience with TC1100 and Solid State Drive

One of the things with the SSD you purchased is the type of NAND memory it
uses. there is MLS and SLC. MLC (which is the drive you purchased) is very
inexpensive to produce, and unfortunately suffers from amazingly slow write
speeds. As such, you wouldn't see much improvement. SLC drives are more
expensive, but will give you the performance improvements you are looking for.
