superadamwo Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm just trying to make sure because in some places I look the performance is almost double what I'm getting here (this may be due to SATA II vs SATA III but I'm pretty sure I've seen SATA II results where the write speed is way higher). The drive is only a day old, and I secure erased and did a fresh install of windows. It's got the latest firmware, and due to my motherboard is running in SATA II speed. Specs: ASUS M4A785-M AMD Phenom ii x2 555 Overclocked and unlocked to 3.6 ghz quad AMD Radeon 5770 4gb ddr2 ram 600w PSU (attachment thing wasn't working so here's the benchmark) http://i.imgur.com/j5n1L.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonerfs101e Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 hi your speed is normal for a sata2 Sata2 as a maximum ove 280MB/s So u ave reach the maximum speed ove ur sata3 ssd on a sata2 port U could buy a pcie 8x controller like Highpoint 2720sgl to get more from ur ssd But if u don't wan't to make a raid 200$ is to much for only one ssd. Don't buy a pcie 1x controller, using marvell 9128 chip. This chip is bugy U won't get more speed then with your sata2 controller. Hope this help Sincerly yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 No, the 0.5-0.8 speeds shouldn't be that low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbonerfs101e Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yes and no U con't get full speed from small block Maybe a litle slow but don't forget that u or using a sata2 controller did you check if u ave last motherboard bios, chipset and driver http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1366/P6T_SE/#download as it could improuve ssd stability and speed. Don't forget to set sata controller to ahci mode if u or not using raid As it optimize ssd Hope this help sincerly yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superadamwo Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ok thanks for the help, but I'm also having an issue where my computer will sometimes lock up for 20 seconds or so for seemingly no reason. That's why the first couple results on ATTO are so low, because while it was running the computer locked up, then went back to normal when it gets to the normal looking part. Is there something wrong with the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 -Secure erase the SSD and reinstall Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 before, disable all power saveing from BIOS and on Windows. Also look newer ahci and chipset drivers for your MB. on AMD.com You did but your Sata mode(from BIOS) to ahci before installing your windows?

superadamwo Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah I think it had something to do with my windows cd being really scratched, I installed from USB stick and so far it seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danixu Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 If that is the real performace of Force 3 in SATA2, why i get a lower performace? http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/7508/benchmark132.jpg Is about 40/50% of the speed. Maybe i've to change anything in SO or in BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 @superadamwo Run a ATTO benchmark and post a screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
