Thanx.
Supposedly there is a free edition of Paragon Alignment Tool that was shipped with some HDD. I can't find a down loadable copy ?
Here's my Intel 320, 120 GB on the left. Quite ok I think.
But then I cloned this onto an Intel 520, to the right, and I did not at all get what I expected. I expected in the region of 260 MB/s as promised by Intel. Something must be wrong, but it is not the alignment, I've checked that. Any ideas, anyone?
Even though I also don't think HD Tune is the best bechmark, it looks that something is wrong.
Is Trim on?
What "cloning" app did you use?
You could try:
1) Securely erase the Intel 520

2) Simple image your Intel 320 with Windows inbuilt imaging and reimage to your Intel 520. NB: Only have the 520 connected when you reimage.
3) Recover any unallocated space with Disk Manager or a tool like Partition Wizard.
