My SSD has dropped down in the Windows 7 rating to 5.9 which is the default standard 7200rpm SATA hard drive speed, i have not noticed a speed drop but wondering if anyone has ideas on this, im a little concerned i have a setting or two wrong.
Have you checked your drive using Intel's SSD Toolbox? Also there was a firmware update recently and your drive might be the better for it if it is updated, if needed that is.
