Averages are for Page Field, which is 4 miles from Fort Myers.
Until recently, PC buyers had very little choice about what kind of storage to get in a laptop or desktop. If you bought an ultraportable, you likely had a solid-state drive (SSD) as the primary drive (C: on Windows, Macintosh HD on a Mac). Every other desktop or laptop form factor had a hard disk drive (HDD). Now, you can configure your system with either an HDD or SSD, or in some cases both.
To find out what sort of speed boost a SSD will make to an average laptop, we had the painfully simple idea of putting a SSD (in this case a Crucial M4 512GB SSD) into an 'average laptop' and then recording the performance before and after installation.
