Completely un-tuned Postgresql benchmark results: SSD vs desktop HDD

[Michael March <mmarch@xxxxxxxxx>]

If anyone is interested I just completed a series of benchmarks of stock Postgresql running on a normal HDD vs a SSD.

If you don't want to read the post, the summary is that SSDs are 5 to 7 times faster than a 7200RPM HDD drive under a pgbench load.

Is this what everyone else is seeing?

Thanks!
