INFO: Performance of SATA SSD in a 2nd drive caddy [Lenovo Ultrabay PATA]


Below is CrystalDIskMark benchmarks comparing performance of a SATA Mtron SLC 3500 100/100 SSD using a SATA-to-PATA bridge adapter versus a native SATA port on a Thinkpad T60 using a ICH7M ATA100/UDMA5 optical drive interface. Original posting is here.

CrystalDiskMark: SATA MTRON 3500 SLC 100/100
..........Read..MB/s...................Write..MB/s
Seq.....84.28:94.98 (88.7%)......55.92:86.95 (64.3%)
512k....77.42:94.68 (81.8%)......21.22:22.49 (94.4%)
4k.......18.73:19.78 (94.7%)........1.28:2.81...(45.6%)

Left of colon: SATA-to-PATA ultrabay optical bay caddy
Right of colon: native SATA interface

The bridge chip does degrade read performance by 12%. That would be OK by me. I am curiously awaiting benchmarks of the equivalent HP 2510P SATA 2nd drive caddy and SATA HDD/SSD. Anyone??
