Hi,
I'm considering purchasing an SSD (probably an OCZ Vertex 2 60GB) to replace the hard drive in my Samsung N510 netbook.
I have been unable to find conclusive answers to the following questions, and would be grateful for any advice:
1) The netbook has an Intel Atom N280 processor. Will this create a bottleneck that will negate any performance improvements that might otherwise be gained by using the SSD?
2) I have read that using the TRIM feature will significantly improve the performance of the SSD. Is it necessary to enable AHCI to use TRIM in Linux, because there is not an option to do this in the netbook's BIOS?
Many thanks in advance.
