Yes I'm on 0309. I have an ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe motherboard with a late version BIOS (706). The SSD is connected to a Sata 6 port with AHCI.
There a a number of Internet posts reporting this behavior but I haven't seen an answer.
Well, the only consolation is that it probably makes no difference in real life. Those SSDs are so fast that it would be hard to tell the difference.
Dave76,
thanks for your suggestions.
Write cache was enabled. I disabled C3 & C6 (from auto) but performance remains the same.
Steve, those Intels are indeed amazing. I have two 4 year old Gen1 Intels and happen to have the measurement below available. They are in Germany so I cannot remeasure them right now.
