Show us your SSD performance 2

Hi Nate, good to see you here :)

Your thread has taken on a long life, with no end in the foreseeable future.
Glad to hear your Inferno is still going strong.

Hum have just set up the new build and the thing is on steroids can't wait to see what the SSD is doing

Hiyya Gary what do you put that down to mate as I always thought that these things got "worn" as they are being used?? I stand to be corrected though.

In hindsight I should have kept a record of mine

Well, trying to correct a BSOD issue, I uninstalled the iastor.sys Intel Rapid Storage driver and used the msahci. With msahci the thing ran like an old spinner drive, so I went back to the iastor driver and this is what happened, very happy with it.

What you want to be more concerned with is the 4K read/writes, Windows uses that size block more than any other.

Hum well a few probs at the moment I am waiting on some replies for but as it is I cannot run AS SSD on that new build

After purchasing a Laptop with a slow 5200 rpm spinner I decided to accomplish 2 upgrades with 1 new SSD. The Intel 510 Sata III SSD on my main rig found a new home in the Laptop and a new Intel 330 Sata III now re-energizes the main rig with much better performance.

Nice, I bet the laptop zooms along now!

Yes and it also qualified for the Windows 8 upgrade offer for $14.99 so the money saved on a new OS essentially paid for the new SSD, However I still prefer Windows 7 and have no plans to upgrade my 2 desktops.

Hum have finally ironed out a few things - the new build. Power on to login 26 secs but my WEI has dropped 0.1.
