Poor SSD Performance

Hi!

 

I recently bought a new high-end computer with a Corsair SSD Force Series 3 90GB.

 

However, I don't really feel the effects of having a SSD disk; my computer does not load notably faster than my old computer with a spinning disk. Also, it takes much longer to boot the OS than on other SSD based computers.

My SSD disk contains nothing but Windows 7 64-bit and Battlefield 3, and has been optimized using the suggestions I found on this forum.

 

Here is a screenie of some tests from AS SSD Benchmark.

 

 

Here's a list of what I have already tried:

 

- Ensured its plugged in a SATA 6GB port with equivalent cable

- Updated its firmware

- Updated my BIOS

- I 'm quite sure I have the correct drivers (not positive though) - ran Intel Driver Update Utility online

- Moved most temp files (incl Win 7) to my spinning drive

- Stopped diskfragment, windows search, and superfetch services

- Ensured TRIM is running

- By MSI's recommendation, enabled AHCI and Hot Plug options

 

 

Do you think anything is wrong, and what could I do to increase performance?

 

 

Thanks!

 

Best Regards,

i would run the ATTO benchmarking because that is what they use to check the speeds of the ssd. Also i have read that there was nothing on the drive when they tested it. as far as loading faster, i have the same problem but one guy had mentioned that maybe the bootimes could be affected by having the bios reading another drive as well.

The benchmark score is good. AS SSD uses predominantly incompressible data. Where ATTO uses compression data. So you will get the advertised speed on ATTO. Thanks
