Interesting. That is clearly faster than my 60GB M4.

The read speeds are the same on the 64GB and the 128GB, The write speeds are faster on the 128 than the 64.

I just upgraded from 0309 to 000F hoping my AS-SSD 4k-64 speed would improve. It went from this

to this

The poor 4K-64 results remain but the Write access went from .2ms to .37ms!!!!!!!!!

When I had an online chat session with Crucial they said for SSD technical matters I had to contact a US or Canadian telephone number. No email.
Good on you Crucial. You've seen the last cent of my money.

^ rerun the test 10 more times, you likely won't get the same results twice. I think you are putting too much faith into the benchmarks.

I usually don't trust anything except WEI.

I wouldn't expect to get exactly the same results. Here is an indication of the variance.
I ran the test 10 times
Acc Read: 0.091 - 0.110ms
Acc Write: 0.365 - 0.377ms

I have previously with V0309 firmware ran the test multiple times and always got Acc Write around 0.2 ms.

AS-SSD seems to be an often used benchmark. Either its Acc Write benchmark means little or the new firmware has slowed the SSD.

Note that Crucial state you should NOT attempt to rollback the firmware so once you upgrade there is no going back. I still think their technical customer service stinks for anyone outside of North America.

Have you tried running WEI to see if the ssd score changed?
