zm15 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I just did a fresh install of W7 ult 64 bit on my Force 120GB drive. It has firmware 1.1 on it. With crystal mark i'm getting reads of 230 MB/s and writes of 130 MB/s These seem really low to me. Especially according to the article here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3656/corsairs-force-ssd-reviewed-sf1200-is-very-good/3 What am I doing wrong? I've followed the Corsair guide to setting up a SSD, I thought i'd get better performance with the Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpionri Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 They use ATTO for the specs they give, so you should try that to verify if the performance is where it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zm15 Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Ahh gotcha, yep those speeds are better. Why is crystal mark so low? Is it not accurate?? Is ATTO an industry standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpionri Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 It's not really an industry standard, it's just the tool they used to give the max. specs of 285 & 275 for the SF drives ( all the sellers of SF drives use these numbers ). The numbers are different because of the way the benchmarks work. If ATTO gives you numbers close to 285 & 275 you're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
