ssdowner Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Wondering if anyone has any ideas how I can get the write speed up to par. My reads are generally good above 400 in any config. My writes never break 100... usually sit around 98-99. What I have tried so far: updated cables to the 6GB cables included with my motherboard. tried disabling USB3 tried disabling C1E tried using the default windows 7 AHCI drivers tried using the amd catalyst AHCI drivers (1.2.0.164) the motherboard is a Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 which has a SB850 Chipset running 6 xSATA 6.0 Gb/s ports the SSD is a corsair force series 3 120GB (firmware 1.3.3) Windows 7 pro 64bit was installed in AHCI mode cleanly onto the force3. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your time EDIT: well... after browsing around on the forum here I noticed the suggestion to try ATTO, I had been using passmark's performance test 7.0 (since I use their data often to find the fastest drives on sale ;) ) and the ATTO shows me hitting some high write speeds... while the passmark always shows the write stuck at 98-100. They claim the test is a "sequential write"... running an ATTO shows smaller files sizes slower but the write's really kick into gear at the 8KB filesize. So I guess I am not really having an issue at all with the drive, but instead with the test. Any suggestions as to what ATTO config I should try to verify it is indeed working at peak performance?
