Sily question But why ubuntu , and not Windows 7 64bit ?? I just upgraded a older DV9000, HP , Put in a WD 128gig SSD and a fresh copy of W7 64 , Now runs better than it ever did the OEM hard drives were 5400 RPMs , and even though this machine uses SATA 1.5 , Now I getting 138619 reads and136450 writes , before I was getting 41230 reads and 39876 writes , Thats about 3 times faster than the old HD, and the response time is 0.04Ms where the old HD was 18Ms. Performance is all about INOPS in & outs . You can also check UBUNTU may not support TRIM which is important for a SSD , Did you download the INTEL TOOL BOX and run the clean up??
