Samsung SSD 840 Series 229.6 MB/sec Performance Result

This is run on my Macbook Pro - I was shocked to watch it verify a multi-Gigabyte dmg file at such speed and had time to fire up Activity Monitor. Made a good test tho since the verify is just a read checksum so it should make the drive go at its full speed.
