Force 3 60GB max speed 130 mb/sec?

I have a Force 3 60 GB, CSSD-F60GB3-BK.

 

It is running very slow, so slow that my WD velociraptor will out boot it.

 

I have an E8400 and an EVGA 750i FTW mobo, which is on SATA II, but I think I should be able to get better then 130 MB/sec on ATTO (see attached image).

 

I look at reviews benchmarks, and I am getting numbers that are no where near these, I know I am on SATA II, but this is pitiful.

 

What do you guys recommend?

I'm running a clean install of window 7 pro 64 bit.

Running slow. You should get around 250-260 & 260-270 MB/s in ATTO.

You could try to secure erase & reinstall. Make sure your bios for the SATA2 is set to AHCI mode. See FAQs for help

 

And don't try to run ATTO excessively because it will make it even slower (dirty SSD)

I think the problem is the 750i chipset. I don't really know what to suggest here. Perhaps and external controller, but there you open another can of worms ( most cheap controllers are based on the Marvell 91xx chipset and some users had stability issues with them ).

scorpinori is right. The SSD Specs were tested on a Intel Platform. The 750i may be slower than the Intel Chipsets so this may be why you are getting slow speeds.

Slow chipset shouldn't cut it in half though.

the chipset is from nVidia. which may cause some kind of performance degradation. The only way to confirm that the chipset is slow is to put it on another system e.g. Friend's computer or a local computer shop. preferably a Intel chipset.
