BradTN Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 So I am also noticing something very odd.. this is a brand new SSD with a fresh instlal of windows 7 on it, I ran Crystaldiskbench mark and here were my results... way below par arent they? http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/3263/cdnm.jpg I also ran atto http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/5077/atto.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/8115/cdig.jpg Are these results unsual along with the strange noise?

Synbios Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Your benchmarks are only slightly below normal but if you do not post your system specifications we have no way of knowing what is expected for your setup..fill out the specifications in your profile the best that you can.

BradTN Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 I figured out what that noise was that i mistook for the SSD it was motherboard , disabled c1e in bios eliminated that problem , but i am still curious as to my drives speeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Thanks for filling out your system specs, are you using the latest BIOS update for your board? I've seen a lot of people having problems with the Force drive and that board. Is your controller set to AHCI mode and if it is what drivers are you using, Intel RST or msachi?

BradTN Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 how does one find out for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 AHCI or IDE are options in your BIOS, AHCI will give better performance usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradTN Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 But if it has already been detected as IDE and formatted on ide etc wont switching to ahci cause problems? whats the proper process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 But if it has already been detected as IDE and formatted on ide etc wont switching to ahci cause problems? whats the proper process? Yeah it would cause a problem if you just change it in the BIOS, then windows won't be able to boot, you have to change a registry key first (check the sticky) Regardless, for now you should at least go into the BIOS and see what it's currently set to.
