    The screenshot you posted earlier was in alignment and you were using the AMD AHCI drivers. My experience with AMD is several years ( OK A little more than several) ago. But, at that time the AMD AHCI sata drivers did not perform very well at all. They may have improved now, but I used to have to use the Microsoft MSAHCI drivers and got much better results with them. I tried to give Arc his keyboard back, but he wouldn't take it. Besides, Bill and Paul. I'm old and have a good excuse, what's yours?

    So are you saying I should uninstall the drivers and let Windows install the drivers ?

    Personally (and I take no responsibility) I would use the roll back driver in Device manager. It should roll back the driver to MSAHCI, whic is what windows used during the install. If you installed in AHCI mode, windows provides that driver to install. When you install the drivers from the motherboard, that's when the drivers change. So, roll back driver should put you to MSAHCI. It's worth a try. Better than reinstalling. Besides, I've done it a couple of thimes and it worked fine. It won't guarentee better performance, but should use different drivers.

    I can't do a Rollback.

    It is greyed out in both screenshots. I can do a update or uninstall.

    COMPUTIAC, Your drive should be getting much better performance than it is getting. But, it still gets much higher performance than a mechanical hard drive. Would you like to see AS SSD on a mechanical hard drive? A Western Digital Black WD1002FAEX scored 15.

    Click update driver and search the internet, it will say the current driver is the latest, I'm sure. I believe you should be able to roll back driver after that.

    If that does not work, try update driver, search for a driver on my compuyer, navigate to C:/windows/system32/drivers and go down to msahci.sys and see if it will install that. You can look before hand and you will see it is there.

    Tried this and Rollback is still greyed out.

    OK, it did the update from; choose from a list, then did a reboot.
    WEI had no change still 5.9 for the SSD. In device manager it is referred to as Disk Drive, not the name of the drive like before. I do not see any difference in the drivers listed, do you ?
    Is the AS SSD better or worse ?

    No, there's no difference, and I can't explain that. In control panel, uninstall programs do you have a listing for AMD AHCI driver. If you do, you could try to uninstall it. If I'm correct, that should force it to use MSAHCI driver, but I could be wrong. Do you have the option to return the drive to where you bought it? If you do, I would consider that.
