Norwegian guy Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Hi, just bought a Corsair Force 3 60 GB SSD to my MacBook Pro and I really like the speed. But, when i ran a disk speed test the read/write speed was at 185/90 MB/s. Why does it run at such low speed and what can I do to make it run at max speed? Spec: MacBook Pro 15" early 2011. SATA III 60 GB version I have no idea of what the firmware version is or where to check it.
Toasted Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Are you using Black Magic Disk Speed Test? What's New in Version 2.1 Some SSD's use hidden compression when writing data to make their benchmarked speeds appear faster. Disk Speed Test will now measure the true speed of these SSD's so you know if they are suitable for high quality uncompressed video capture. This means that any version 2.1+ will benchmark the SSDs using incompressible data, ATTO uses compressible data to benchmark the SSDs. If you find a version under 2.1, You should get the compressible benchmark results.
Norwegian guy Posted June 14, 2012 Author Posted June 14, 2012 Yes it is Black Magic Disk Speed Test I use, but it is hard to find a older version of it. Every download link redirects me to App Store where version 2.1 is -.- Anyone know where I can get an older version? Or another speed tester, tried XBench 1.3, it showed around 200 MB/s in read and almost the same in write :/
