mackaqld Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi I am running at force3 120gb SSD on a SATAII ICHIOR AHCI controller... I replaced the video card.. I honestly thought replacing the video card would not make a difference to it... I followed the guide when I installed it about moving page files and temp files, etc... got TRIM enabled... tried disabling it... made no difference to my speed.. On WEI I was getting 7.7 on the SSD, before I put the new card in...once I re-rated it the SSD was at 7.4 and was noticeably slower imo. I have attached my ATTO speed test... I think its slow..compared to the other SATAII tests... could you guys let me know what you think? Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackaqld Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 System specs as follows- Gigabyte EX58-UD3R MB I7-920 stock @ 2.67ghz 6gb DDR3 ATI HD7770 1GB DDR5 Boot drive- 120gb Force3 SSD Data Drives- 1.5TB & 1TB WD + 250Gb WD replaced ATI 4890 with HD7770 and experienced the slower WEI rating with SSD. ATI 4890 was 7.2, HD7770 is 7.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The ATTO test is normal for a SATA II chipset. WEI should not be used as a benchmark as it is only a score that can decrease over time when technology advances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackaqld Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Well I might have to upgrade my motherboard to SATAIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Note that if you are buying a X58 motherboard with a third party controller, The controller may or may not run the SSD at the SATA III 6.0Gb/s speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info.. think I might upgrade my m/b & CPU, RAM.... and get another SSD and run it RAID 0... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 A PCI-E card might help you instead of upgrading all the motherboard, CPU and RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackaqld Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 A PCI-E card might help you instead of upgrading all the motherboard, CPU and RAM. What sort of speed improvements will I likely see? if the card doesn't get full speed? I read on tomshardware that you can't really tell the difference between SATAII & III speeds... but from the ATTO speed tests done on SATAIII seems a lot quicker..

Turbonerfs101e Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi mackaqld Sata2 maximum speed is 300MB/s and sata3 600MB/s per-lane Some controller have trouble to handle sata3 SSD speed As the Marvell 9128 on some X58 and other Intel motherboard Do to the speed limitation of the PCI-E 1x use as interface with the Marvell 9128 controller. So if you want to buy a PCI-E controller don't buy a 1x controller it will be no better. The best is a pcie 8x controller ME i buy the Highpoint 2720SGL roketraid It is a SAS to SATA controller with 8 sata3 ports It theoretical maximum speed is around 2800MB/s, so with 6 sata3 ssd you reach the max speed Not bad for lest then 200$ There iss my benchmark 1 ssd 536870MB/s write 573852MB/s read 0.03ms latency 2 ssd 938585MB/s write 1034931MB/s read 0.22ms latency 3 ssd 1388459MB/s write 1516957MB/s read 0.22ms latency 4 ssd 1740479MB/s write 1968964MB/s read 0.1,s latency 5 ssd 2176503MB/s write 2397934MB/s read 0.05ms latency 6 ssd 2403889MB/s write 2724221MB/s read Up to 2800MB/s with a latency ove 0.04ms with AIDA64 you could see my post http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109364 Hope this help Sincerely yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
