    "Give each VM its own partition on the SSD." at the end.
    What does VM means?
    I am about to get a patriot Blaze 240gb SSD for win7-32.

    VM is a Virtual Machine, like VMWare or Virtualbox. It even mentions that in the article.

    One of the most popular uses of SSDs is in servers hosting virtual machines.
    That article is for server management, not workstations. If you aren't running that setup, this article is irrelevant to you.

    Virtual Machine - VM

    I think that is the right translation.

    Is patriot an OEM-product? maybe samsung evo inside? I wouldnt wonder. I am reffering to the speed-loss.
    Had troubles with SD-cards-bad quality. If they had produced themselves they would have been of higher quality.

    SD cards and SSD harddrives are no where near the same.

    I put a Micron SSD in a 7 year old laptop and it did make for better performance there relative to the WDC disk drive that was in it originally, BUT the new 64MB memory 3.5" hard drives in my desktop benchmark very close to that SSD. Maybe it's motherboard/CPU limitations in the laptop, but it did shock me a bit that they were so close.

    Then again, that's benchmarking. That little laptop boots faster than my desktop, so it's all good. As "they" say - there are lies, damned lies and then there's statistics. Benchmarks don't matter much when you are getting what you need.
