Sorry about what? You posted whilst I was still fiddling with it. Nothing wrong with that.

I posted the same idea just before you.... :)

hmmm.. let me try to see if i am up to date

how do i tell what drivers/firmware my drive is running off of?

intel x25-m

See my picture.

You mean firmware, right?

i dont know if you were talking to me or not, but i would like to know where both of them are

im pretty sure i know where the driver is (the driver tab :-P) but i dont know as much about firmware

edit: the drive runs off the AHCI driver?

I was pointing to his screenshot that says this is the driver version. But just for clarification that's the firmware version, not driver. The driver is on the driver tab.
Then you have whatever SATA controller drivers you're using there in this shot.

You have the same Firmware as I do, 2CV102HD, or 02HD as refered to on the site below.

According to this Intel site it's the latest version.

Intel® SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool

The best SSD benchmark I've found is AS SSD.
It also shows the Brand, Firmware version, IDE/SATA driver type, Alignment info, and size in the upper left corner.

Your HD Tune benchmark didn't look right. Try the AS SSD benchmark.

Your read speeds were less than my X25-V 40GB. Yours should be at 250MB/s.

OCZ Vertex 2 looks much faster - but which test is more "accurate"

For the OS there is no need to get too excited about the read/write speeds. It is the access time that counts. My OCZs are at 0.1ms/sec. For Samsung I have no data.
