I read some benchmarks from Tom's Hardware which suggested that
expensive magnetic drives can actually beat cheap SSD in some cases, in
terms of transfer rate and/or power consumption.
This utterly boggles my mind.
(Unless they're talking about *write* speed, which is the only real
weakness of SSD, AFAIK...)
