Slow Sequential Writes in the Real World?

Dear Board

I have decided to invest in an SSD for my PC. This will act as my system drive and will replace a 300GB Velociraptor. I have, I think, settled on an 80GB Intel X-25M (G2).

From extensive reading around I've concluded that this SSD will be an all round faster performer. However I still don't really understand the implications of the Intel's slow sequential write speed.

Can anyone give me an idea of how this would manifest itself in real world usage:
What type of activities would suffer, if any?
Are there better choices than the Intel? (I have max £200GBP to spend?)
Or should I just stick with the velociraptor?

Thanks in advance
Jonny
 
It won't manifest itself at all. Even intel's slower than other ssd sequential write speed is faster than the velociraptor. To you it will be faster in all facets.
 
The only time you will notice the Intel's "slow" sequential writes is when you are transferring large files from another drive to the SSD, in which case you will *only* transfer at 100 MB/s max. Oh noes.

Yes, the Intel is the right choice.
