Aand2 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hello, I was going to RMA my Force 3 Drive (Firmware 1.2), but the Firmware 1.3.3 solved my problems ;): Now, my write and read speeds seem to be a little bit slower after the Firmware 1.3.3 update. Before the FW update I was getting: 510 Mb/s Write and 550 Mb/s Read. Now, the speeds are 478 Mb/s Write and 539 Mb/s Read. Running the latest BIOS on ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3 on Sata 6G chipset. AHCI mode is enabled in the OS and in the BIOS. Tested with ATTO Disk Benchmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aand2 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 I erased the SSD with parted magic and reinstalled windows after that. Using MS AHCI drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Try the AMD drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aand2 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thanks, I installed the AMD AHCI drivers, and my speeds improved: Write: 497 Mb/s ~ 500 Mb/s Read: 536 Mb/s The speeds are now ok.. Any suggestions why the AMD AHCI drivers speed up the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions why the AMD AHCI drivers speed up the drive? Most likely the AMD driver is more optimized for the AMD controller as compared to the generic MS AHCI driver.
