    It shouldn't help at all given the access speeds on a SSD. Would be interesting to try it to be sure, but I can't see how it could help.

    As in other thread of yours, it will do nothing to speed up performance. It will only speed things up on very slow computers. If you have 1gb of memory installed and a decent 5400rpm drive, the turbo memory module will do nothing to speed up your computer. It may in fact cause more problems since they are prone to causing blue screens and compatibility issues.

    Dont buy the turbo memory card its not worth a penny.
