Source : PC InpactThe website Trustedreviews published the first test of a 32GN Samsung SSD, while comparing performance with a 250GB 2.5" HD and a 1TB 3.5" HD from Hitachi.
In summary, a SSD boots faster than a 2.5"HD thanks to its low access time, but can not compete with a 3.5" HD. In all other tests, the SSD can not compete with both plate-based HD models due to its low effective writing and reading speed.
If this is only the beginning of the era of flash memory-based solid state drive, and in the coming months/years, improvements should speed up performance to better compete with plate-based HDs.
