VERGiL Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hi there, I just received my Corsair P64 SSD two days ago :) The new firmware was already installed when I got it and I installed Windows 7 without problems. Heres a screenshot from CrystalDiskMark: http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/esxhihg/thumb/crystaldiskmarkscreenshot.png Here's my CrystalDiskMark: http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/8vg6q5mf/CrystalDiskMark.png Well, a bit too slow at reading, isn't it? I already stopped my Kaspersky InternetSecurity, but the results are quite the same. Whan can I do to improve the speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCPC Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Your speeds are far better than mine (I'm also on VBM19C1Q). I've reported slow speeds in another thread - sorry for hijacking - but I think my post is appropriate in that it shows a similar issue. Hopefully this screenshot shows everything stats-wise; http://i49.tinypic.com/2642lc5.png My P64 has started to feel much slower than it did ~1 week ago when I updated the firmware and reinstalled Windows 7; although it has never been as fast as my friend's P128 by a long long way. I think my drive has crap flash memory in it - maybe yours came from the same batch?! Am very interested to see what Ram Guy says, as I e-mailed him not long ago but didn't hear back. Just as a PS, I have issued the Secure Erase command twice now (as detailed in my other thread) and all forms of caching are disabled, as is page file and defragmentation. As far as I can tell, I'm looking after my SSD well and follow all the common advice on looking after SSDs with Win7 installed. Although I'm prepared to image my drive and issue the command AGAIN, I can't see it helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 1, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 1, 2010 The published results for P-64 are: 220 MB/s sequential read 120 MB/s sequential write So since you have the drive as the Boot drive with the O.S. loaded on it that may be normal. But you can image the drive to another drive then secure erase it with Parted magic and then quick format with a 32K allocation and test it again as second drive.

VERGiL Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yes, but I guess there are lots of people out here, who also use their SSD with Win7 as system drive. And they got better results. Could someone who owns a P64 and is using it as boot drive upload a few benches? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywálker01 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi, here is my P64 as boot drive for win7 64bit. I run on 965 chipset and the seq.read/write is aroud 200-220/130-150 Mb/s http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/2849/p64p.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCPC Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Wow Skywálker01, you have a good P64 :P my P64 is also my boot/system drive, see my benchies above. I'm going to image off everything, secure erase, and test it with this 32K allocation business to see if (as a non system drive) it can do any better. Will post back results.

Skywálker01 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Test it in friends or some another PC if you can. Just plug it in as second drive.You still can benchmark it and make you sure if its hdd or your laptop problem. And no reinstal or errase needed.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 4, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 4, 2010 The Spec's post previously were for another SSD the P128 and P256 sorry so the P64 would be. 220 MB/s sequential read 120 MB/s sequential write Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotshotnz Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 After reading everyone else's posts, I thought I would check my P64 which is used as my system boot drive. My PC was built in late Nov 2009, therefore the drive has had almost 2 months use. Windows 7 set the allocation size to 4096, not 32k. Results are: -------------------------------------------------- CrystalDiskMark 2.2 © 2007-2008 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World : http://crystalmark.info/ -------------------------------------------------- Sequential Read : 209.785 MB/s Sequential Write : 142.988 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 172.097 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 115.417 MB/s Random Read 4KB : 24.796 MB/s Random Write 4KB : 6.771 MB/s Test Size : 100 MB Date : 2010/01/09 19:13:20 These results so great variation with those posted with others - slower on some reads and writes, and faster on others!

hotshotnz Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Just for interest, I thought I would check my stats again - powered on the machine and ran the test. These are the results - sudden improvements in write performance. Probably goes to show that we shouldn't get to hung up in testing performance of these drives!;):: -------------------------------------------------- CrystalDiskMark 2.2 © 2007-2008 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World : http://crystalmark.info/ -------------------------------------------------- Sequential Read : 207.502 MB/s Sequential Write : 143.270 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 170.982 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 126.501 MB/s Random Read 4KB : 24.862 MB/s Random Write 4KB : 8.327 MB/s Test Size : 100 MB Date : 2010/01/10 13:22:53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
