Vantage is fun to test, and fun to get insane results, and easy to test TRIM, but as an realworld bench it is useless. I've tested extencively if a drop in Vantage from 170k to 100k - close to half the speed according to that test - by filling the SSD's from 7% to 50%, coud be seen elsewhere, and nothing have ever come close to that, not even in the same ballpark.
Infact, I timed starting 30 apps@7% simultaniously vs. 50%, and the difference was 0.xx%. I tested all the IOmeter patterns, and the difference was almost the same as my timed results... Vantage is close to being useless from a realworld performance perspective on SSD's imho, as the guys who made it admitted. Mind you, PCM7 has gone to far, and are artificially keeping the scores between HDD and SSD to close, and are pretty useless aswell, infact even more useles as it can't be used for anything beneficial (like working TRIM) at all imho..
Edit: My spelling laying down in the dark on the sofa typing with the oddest of fingers, might produse some odd words, but I do see them and try to edit while rolling my eyes in shame and annoyance...
