SSD Question

What kind of performace would I see if I put the new Intel 250GB 510 Series in my 2010 uMBP (Macbook Pro) which is limited to 3Gbps? Will there be a performace increase compared to my Intel X25-M 160GB?

On SATA 3Gb/s, the 250GB 510 will probably do:

Random Write: 5-8% better

Random Read: 20-25% worse

Sequential Write: 85-95% better

Sequential Read: 2-3% better

Why Random Read worse? Can you explain the numbers?

The 510 series use a completely different controller and firmware.
