• You have known me long enough Jeff to know I wouldn't run that test into SSMS output! 😉

    My laptop being so powerful has actually forced me to do some things differently for a few of my SQL Saturday presentations. It truly is more powerful than many if not most of my client's production boxes. I have to run my column store index samples (7+GB, 131M row fact table) from an external USB drive for example because my pair of SSDs gets me almost 1GB/sec read IO performance!! And yes, that is gigaBYTE, not gigaBIT. 😎
