SentientCube Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I am getting pretty poor performance with my drive, max I've seen is about 375MB/s http://i.imgur.com/Dd211.png I have the drive plugged into one of the two Marvell SATAIII ports on my motherboard, and I have AHCI enabled. I've tried flashing the mobo bios and the Marvell controller bios. The boot page showing the Marvell controller information shows the drive in 6.0GB/s mode. I have not yet tried updating the firmware on the SSD, but I will if people think it might help. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The speeds are normal for an Marvell Controller. If you have an Intel/AMD SATA port, Plug the SSD into one of those ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentientCube Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Unfortunately all of the Intel ports are SATAII. Is there anything I can do to get better performance using the Marvell controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 A PCIe card should get you SATA III speeds. SATA II is about 250Mb/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentientCube Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Is there a specific PCIe SATA III card that you would recommend? Will some of them have the same shortfall that the Marvell controller has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Sorry, Don't have any recommendations on PCIe cards. You should Google some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
