The motherboard was purchased 10/19/2007 and installed about a week later. I did check the bios version from the manufacturer and was able to find out that there have been 3 updates to the bios since my existing one. One of the updates is even from within the past month. The ssd was purchased and installed in January of this year, about 4-6 weeks ago.
OK, home now and trying new things. First i installed the latest bios from Gigabyte for my mb version F7I released 08/30/2010. Flashed bios and configured before booting into win7. Downloaded and ran the ATTO benchmark and got this (which i believe looks much better than the others
i also reran the as ssd benchmark to compare and the score seems a little higher this time around so apparently the bios did play a little factor in it. However, i still can not find anything in the bios setting to enable the achi
i would only run ATTO on SSDs. others will help degrade the performance.
Nice. Almost identical.
Show us your SSD performance
This is post #1, the thread starter, He is using HD Tune and posted a link to AS SSD.
This thread, since it's beginning has been for all SSDs and all benchmarks as many people have there own preferences.
There are a lot of forums that prefer one SSD benchmark over others, you can find diverse reasons on any forum for their choice.
Some say there are benchmarks for HDDs and benchmarks for SSD and they aren't very accurate for the device that they weren't designed for.
Some forums have threads for specific SSD benchmarks.
Here is one:
AS SSD Benchmark thread
If you would like to see a specific SSD benchmark thread, you can start one.
It is interesting to see the same benchmark for different SSDs.
I have read that ATTO started as a HDD benchmark, AS SSD was made specifically for SSDs, but that is just my preference and everyone is entitled to theirs.
ATTO uses compressible data for the benchmark which makes the OCZ SF controllers look good because they compress data.
AS SSD uses un-compressible data so will give the SF controllers much lower read/write rates and scores.
Neither of these benchmarks are good indications of normal usage.
One gives you high numbers that you won't see in actual usage, the other gives low numbers that you will exceed in normal usage.
On a slightly different topic, OCZ has published AS SSD benchmarks for their SSDs.
OCZ SSD benchmarks using AS SSD from the OCZ website.
Not quite their published numbers.
Have to give them some credit for posting these benchmark results that are different from their published numbers.
Also have been reading posts from some very disgruntled customers that have received the new Gen3 25nm SSDs with no notification, change in model name or part number.
Evidently the Gen3 speeds are a bit slower than the Gen2 models and the expected life is lower.
Doesn't sound good.

Is this from OCZ?
Great post BTW +1
I posted something about using the correct measuring tool for OCZ drives and that testing too much may degrade the drive - Show us your SSD performance
I only like to add that something is strange when you run the OCZs thru HD Tune. My own OCZs and those of others showed very strange results (low and erratic numbers) that were not confirmed by e.g. Atto.
Yes, the above issues are on the OCZ forum.
Drives Shipping With 25nm NAND. Q & A
Vertex 2 60GB (25nm) slow benchmark results and load times?
complaint about 25nm SSD drives
The OCZ staff are saying they use ATTO benchmarks because it gives them good numbers on compressible data, their tests are done on un-used drives.
They admit that customers won't get the same read/write speeds.
The 25nm nand needs more OP so the available space is going to be less, basically that you just have to accept it.
The worst thing is they just started shipping 25nm drives with no indication of the change from 34nm, same models and part numbers. Makes it look like they are trying to hide something.
Doesn't sound good at all.
