New SSD - Working in SATA 1.5G, not 3G?
I just installed a fresh SSD on my laptop - Samsung 470 128GB
I have set the BIOS to AHCI mode (it was by default), and I've disabled System Restore which I hear causes problems with TRIM to run properly. I've used the software from Samsung to "optimize" the disk performance also. I checked with CMD and it says TRIM is ON.
The problem is that when I run AS SDD benchmark I get two times lower (or even more) results than what other reviews show, and what Samsung give as specifications. Same results I get with Samsung's software benchmark - Samsung Magician.
The drivers for the laptop should be fine. It's a fresh Windows installation but I noticed that the Defragment schedule wasn't turned off bu default. I hear Windows should detect that it's installing on an SSD and it should set some things (like defrag schedule) the proper way.
I haven't done any manual alignment because as far as I know it isn't needed when you make a fresh Windows installation.
I have also updated to the latest firmware.
Any help on this would be great :) I'll post the benchmark results of some program if you want.
