Show us your SSD performance

Ok that's it? LOL

Hey, where everybody go?

Perhaps the score is simply the normal operation of your SSD. I might suggest you go to a place like Newegg and read the User feedback of your SSD to determine if this is normal, taking into consideration chipset differences.

It looks your drive is performing normally. Compare yours to this

What iaStor driver are you using?
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology version 10.6.0.1022

Same offset as on mine, clean install and Win7 set it.

Does Kingston have a monitoring app?
Should find a way to check the garbage collection.

My results for a Patriot Pyro 60 GB SATA III SSD, $109.xx purchase price at newegg.

1, IDE bypassing the Windows cache = less than 400 MBS.



2, AHCI still bypassing the Windows cache over 550 MBS.



3, AHCI using Windows cache > 2.3 TBS.


Please note that this is on a single drive attached to a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 motherboard port.

Hopefully this shows the value of using AHCI as well as the value added by Windows' cache.

Newly installed Crucial M4 256GB:



ETA: I upgraded from an Intel X-25M 80GB to the Crucial. I created an image of the Intel and then transferred it to the Crucial. Thanks to this forum, I discovered I was not "aligned." I bought Paragon and ran it and now all is again well in the Universe.

Congrats. It certainly improved your Schreiben

That is a schoolbook example of what the alignment does for you. In the past, some people gave me an argument when I told them that misalignment is the cause of their performance problem. In the future I will use your example (with your permission), to make my case.
