Ok, here's an unfair comparison between SSD, HDD in RAID-0 setup and external HDD.
If you don't know what is SSD or HDD or RAID-0, you may stop reading or click on the link below.

Firstly I would like to talk about the handicap on the following hardware
that are featured in the unfair comparison below.
- Intel X25-M 160GB is housing my computer's operating system, paging files and major software It is 75% full and about 3 years old.
- Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GBx2 in RAID-0 contains all my personal data such as music, movies, games, backups and lots of redundant junks . It is 85% full and 2~3 years old as well.
- Western Digital Passport 500GB USB3.0 is brand spanking new and empty! But of course it is a 2.5 inch hard disk with an USB3.0 interface and that's considered as a major performance handicap.
Intel X25-M 160Gb (SSD)
The Intel solid state drive with its ultra stable bandwidth is showing very little jitters
and incredible access time despite being about 3 years old!
(not sure if the jitters are caused by the motherboard or the aging SSD)
Samsung Spinpoint F3 500Gbx2 in RAID-0 configuration (HDD)
These old Samsung Spinpoint F3s in RAID-0 setup is showing some really weird result,
is it trying to paint a mountain there?
Anyway kudos to the bandwidth, the average is quite similar to the SSD but the peak is still high!
By the way, I'm not sure if this is normal or a bad sign for my hard disks,
if you do know anything about it do drop a comment below, thanks! :]

This result is recorded when both of the Spinpoint F3s are still new and quite empty.
Other than access time, it literally trash those day's entry and mid range SSDs right in their face!

Western Digital Passport 500Gb USB3.0 (HDD)
For an external hard disk, this guy puts up quite a good fight. Though its bandwidth is still in the 2 digit region, but that's quite a good score for an external hard disk.
Conclusion? there is no conclusion. Its an unfair comparison anyway trololo...
