Show us your SSD performance

Thanks for all the help. Yeah i'm on AHCI and the Marvell Controller.

This a real newbie question, but how do you change to the Intel Controller?

Had a quick look through UEFI and couldn't find anything.

Thanks

The picture of your board I saw shows blue and white SATA connectors. Which color is for the Intel and which for the Marvel I could not see. It's probably stamped on the board, though. :)

For those of you thinking about a new Intel drive, you may want to wait.

I disabled the Marvel Controller and my reboot time went from 75 seconds to 28.

I've ran the benchmarks again and well their pretty much exactly the same. :/
I'm running on a Sata 2 socket, that is because my Motherboard said that particuler socke would give me the best boot time. Would Sata 3 boost my SSD performance?

Here's my OCZ Vertex 2.
Attachment 135661

I've only had a quick look at the thread but i'm pretty sure my ssd is under-performing.

Anyone have any ideas how I can change this?

Thanks

I think there is a problem with HD Tune and the Vertex2. I had a similarly dismal picture. But my Atto test is great and my WEI is 7.6. Try Atto.

Ya I got some bizarre results from HD Tune that was not consistent at all. I wrote it off thinking it was because of the RAID.

Absolutely right. Let me show you what funny HD Tune result I got and then compare that to the Atto data. Those measurements were taken 5 minutes apart.

Edit:Oooppps, missed the last page, already been answered.

Check you motherboard manual, usually some of your SATA ports will be Intel and some will be Marvell.

The most interesting is my last post, where I found this article.

Micron's ClearNAND: 25nm + ECC, Combats Increasing Error Rates

It's not just the Intel SSDs, it's all 25nm SSDs. Hope that they can find a solution.

Might just be the best thing to stay with 34nm SSDs, at least until they sort out this serious problem.

The new Intel 510, early reports are showing a very slow 20K IOPs at 4KB read and 4K IOPs at 4KB write.
I'm hoping that this is either a mistake or they are planning to release something with much better IOPs.

The current 120GB and 160GB have 35k IOPS 4k random read, 8.6k IOPS random write, You would think they would at least match this and should improve on it.

My Crucial C300 128GB drive ran beautifully on the Marvell controller. Since my ASUS U3S6 died and I've had to run it off a SATA 3GB/s port write speeds are way down.

This is what it was:


Now, 4k write speeds are lucky to hit 30MB/s
