8ohmh Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hello, few days ago I bought a freshly Corsair 120 GB SSD F-120GB3-BK. I installed Windows 7 new before (AHCI and SATA 3 were enabled) but the performance are below SATA 2 Values.

You see my configuration in my panel In order that I have still the poss. to send it back to my retailer I have now to decide: keeping the sdd or not? Is there something wrong with that drive or not? A firmware update is not possible (because sending back to reatialer) Here more about my MB http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/M4A88TDM_EVOUSB3/#specifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madnisman Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Please post ATTO benchmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ohmh Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 In ATTO Benchmark the values seem to be correct (about 500 MB/s @ 4096)- Is it normal that the values are getting down so much? (I know about the overhead of the ATA commands and the OS drivers - but so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madnisman Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yes, that's normal. The Force 3 SSD performs best with compressible data and ATTO uses compressible data for benchmark. Since the advertised speed was measured with ATTO, this is the one you should take to compare perfomance. CDM and AS SSD are both using incompressible data, that's the reason why you will see worse results from those benchmark tools. The new Performance Pro will handle incompressible data faster.
