Are you sure it is even sataII ? Do you need that IastorAc driver ?@Diosoth
I am also being bottlenecked by the motherboard, it's from 2009 and is probably SATA II at best
This is a crucial mx300 525gb, it cost £110 back then. A few years old, but not had much use.

Speccy reports both drives use SATA II connections.
Intel RST has been needed with this PC since I cloned & put in a new drive last year. I was getting frequent minor errors in event viewer, apparently this motherboard doesn't work 100% with drives that were made alter a certain date unless I have it installed. I'm also running a 2TB HDD for data storage. I don't know if I need it for the SSD but do need it for that drive.
