I wasn't expecting speeds to be exactly as stated above but I was hoping it would at least be close to the specs.
Do these two benchmarks look ok?

Ok, after a quick skim on the OCZ forums, they get their read/write speeds from ATTO Disk Benchmark which is what they recommend to use :\

So is that other one just plain wrong? Or is this benchmarker just some kind of cover up!

Apparently its to do with the Sandforce controller. The ATTO benchmark gives consistent results for all controllers.

Thing is though, what IS the real performance. Does Windows and apps use the SSD like the slower benchmarks or do they use it like ATTO? Is ATTO just a benchmark that satisfy OCZ's figures??

Hmm worth pondering

Windows boot time I'll have to say is the same or maybe even a tad longer than my previous 2 7200rpm in RAID0 (barring POST time).
However launching applications is much faster, MS Word opens up more or less instant, Adobe PS, OrCAD and eclipse 2-3 seconds each.

To be honest I think I had too high expectations for SSD. Buying the SSD was an impulse purchase.
Do I notice any difference over my RAID0 HDD? - Yup
Can I live without SSD - yup

Windows boots much faster for me. Usually its done before the win 7 loading animation even finishes

What were you using before? As I said before I had to a RAID0 setup (~150mb seq read) so boot time there is little difference.
