Dark_TempIar Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 My Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3 Rev1.0 , latest BIOS Sorry, its GA-770TA-UD3 (rev. 1.0)! Force GS 240 GB (5.05A) AHCI Enabled, plugged in SATA 3 Port. Trim Enabled Win 7 64 Its not a fresh installed windows, still 170 MB/s write speed seems kinda crappy. Or are those speed ok!? I also attached a screenshot of the device manager. I tried the AMD AHCI Drivers and the Microsoft driver, doesn't change much. I would be very thankful for hints on improving the speeds, especially write speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Have you tried a different SATA III 6.0Gb/s port? Have you tried a different SATA data cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_TempIar Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yes, both. Didn't change anything. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Is it plugged into the blue ports or the white one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonerfs101e Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Its the Marvel chipset, test one of the intel ports. Hi Engmod . Thers no Intel port on AMD motherboard!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engmod Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 What do you get on the GB ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_TempIar Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 It's plugged in SATA3_7 (bottom right corner) right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted April 14, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2013 Odd, I don't see a SATA3_7 port in the motherboard manual for the GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3. The motherboard pics on Gigabyte's website don't mirror that pic either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Unless may be a typo which should say GSATA2_6 & 7 instead of GSATA3_6 and 7 According to the Gigabyte website, There are 6x SATA 6Gb/s ports from the chipset. (Blue) 2x SATA 3Gb/s from the Gigabyte chip. (White) What Revision is the motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_TempIar Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Sorry guys, lil misinformation on my part. Its a GA-770TA-UD3 (rev. 1.0) not the 870... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Plug it into a blue SATA II 3.0Gb/s port. The Marvell controller isn't really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_TempIar Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Did that, but made it worse - see screenshots plz. Any other advise but buying a new mobo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthearu Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Did that, but made it worse - see screenshots plz. Any other advise but buying a new mobo? No, it is generally better. More consistent and better write performance. The Marvell controller has poor latency, which SSDs tend to care about. You could get a new motherboard to extract the full performance of the drive, but you are unlikely to notice any improvement in real world performance so I would view it as a waste of money. If you really wanted an overall upgrade, I'd probably suggest an i5-3470 on a H77 motherboard. Or a i5-3570K on a Z77 motherboard for overclocking.

Toasted Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Or you can buy a PCIe card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
