Team Group Launches L3 EVO Series SSD
Team Group launches an all new SSD - L3 EVO. L3 EVO SSD is using the generation SATA III 6Gb/s. It is powered by a quad-core, 8-channel controller chip and SATA 3.0 (6Gb/s).
Not only it can fully demonstrate its powerful performance, but also has a smooth read/write speed. The speed and performance of the entire system will be upgraded with write speed of up to 530 MB/s, and read speed of up to 500 MB/s (480/960GB). It is able to accelerate the processing speed of consumer's computer. With more free time after work, people are also able to enjoy life and spend quality time with families and friends.
Consumers are often frustrated with poor PC performance. The key problem is not caused by poor CPU efficiency, but by slow hard drive read speed. Therefore, choosing an easy upgrade solution will definitely affect user's work efficiency. L3 EVO SSD not only provides the best data read/write performance and lower power consumption, but its silent operation also brings users an ideal operating experience. With its compact, thin and light design, the 2.5 inch size can be installed on any compact laptops.

You know, those few extra seconds all count! Think about it, 12 seconds a day, 60 seconds (1 whole minute) a working week, that's 50 minutes a year. If you work for 40 years, that's 2000 minutes you saved, a whole approximately 1.39 days! Seriously though, it seems to be marketed towards people who don't know what a SSD is, and more of a budget upgrade for older systems with only mechanical drives. I can't help but notice the use of 'EVO', wouldn't that be problematic with Samsung?
@ Hilbert
I believe you got the read and write speeds mixed up in the article.

That made my day!
Sorry for off-topic, really, but these kind of marketing sentences make me laugh.
Probably this SSD will be a budget option, I don't know it's pricing but already there are quite a few low priced and well performing SSD's out there.
OS start-up saved 15s+. Firefox Start-up saved 10s+. Productivity applications load/games, work with large data sets... You can't even compare it to HDD, it is magnitude different world.
For people who actually use computer for creative work/analysis, SSD is must. At home I have 2 in same PC. Would not want ever to go back to HDD for OS and productivity apps/some games. And I have moved from raid-0.
(in game like PoE or any larger mmo, map change gives difference between 0.5s and 8~10s; in KF2 map loads like 15s from HDD and 0.5s from SSD)
Having VM on HDD or SSD...
But some people probably like to make coffee while their system is bottlenecked by slow HDD random read or when swap is getting used.

Ideally though you have enough RAM such that the swapfile is only minimally used. Having a low RAM system and a SSD wouldn't do the SSD any good with the constant writing, regardless of whether the computer is much faster now that those writes are occurring on the SSD. We weren't 'making fun' of SSD's, just the way it is advertised. There are more SSD brands and variations than there are mechanical hard drive brands and variations, it's hardly a revolutionary product nor do the stats make it stand out from the rest. It would be interesting to see what price it goes for, as there are some quite decent SSD's that are competitively priced.

Windows uses swap even if you have 80% of memory free, that includes windows 10.
And it is still good idea to have swap on ssd. My 128gb vertex4 lost 4% of lifespan over course of 3 years being OS+swap drive.
At time that drive will die due to r/w cycles, I'll already have one with 10 times higher capacity. And this old Vertex 4 will die in some other computer as I'll donate it long time before it becomes unusable.
And anyone with only 8GB of ram who often runs into situations that require swapping is going to cut hours of waiting every week. To my knowledge, most of business laptops today have still only 8GB of ram, but some of them have SSD.
