Wow, my MBP only gets 123 on Xbench...

and by your benchmark numbers, seems to be well worth it performance wise too!

Its exactly what I wanted and expected, worth every penny!

so in other words, an ssd drive uses electricity and thus generates heat when used lol. on a side note, a hdd doesnt generate any heat either if no electricity is powering it!

there is electrical resistance in ssd drives as well, they arent super conductors you know.

lol did you study physics? in other words an ssd drive doesnt use electricity and thus doesnt generate heat, they dont have to be superconductors because they dont use electricity. The data is stored in a quantum arrangement on the chips and is prevented from being flushed (lost) by a static charge.

granted, it doesn't use as much as a hdd but it still uses electricity

without electricity, it wont function....
here's a really brief refresher article for you
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/removable-storage9.htm

from an older article

As flash drives go, the Samsung 32GB solid state disk (SSD) is huge, bigger than any other flash drive on the market. It has enough capacity for an entry-size laptop drive--enough to hold a dozen iTunes movies.

The SSD drive uses just 5 percent of the electricity needed to power a hard disc drive because it has no moving parts, making it well suited for battery-powered mobile devices. Being motorless, the drive also doesn't generate any noise. It weighs only half as much as a hard drive of comparable size but reads data three times faster and writes data 1.5 times faster.

or from wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

For low-capacity flash SSDs, low power consumption and heat production when in active use, although high-end SSDs and DRAM-based SSDs may have significantly higher power requirements (Flash).

surely you didnt think ssd's ran off magic did you? lol

heck ssd's have even been reported to lower battery time compared to hdd's (due to a variety of issues)....aka use more power aka more electricity! point is, ssd's use electricity to function

*rolls eyes* Right, because XBench is an accurate benchmark tool. My 500 MHz G4 scores higher in GFlops than your MBP, lol. Don't even bother with it..
