9500 SSD Benchmarks
Hi,
I have been benchmarking my upgraded 9500 (G4/700) just to see how it did compare to other models (or basically to the original 9500). I used macbench 5.0 under 7.6.1 but it only let me test the CPU and the hard drive.
So, I tried to run the tests with 2 different hard drives. One is the SCSI drive that came with the 9500, the other is a 60GB SATA SSD drive connected through a sonnet tempo SATA adapter.
Here are the results with the SCSI drive. It does almost as good as the G3/300 :
and here it is with the SSD drive :
The speed difference is quite impressive! This setup would be perfect if I didn't have a sound issue with the SSD controller though... so I don't really use it otherwise I cannot listen to my MP3s
