Thank you very much:)

You're welcome.

I still think it`s lousy, and how can I change the msahci to intel ?

Nice scores, AddRam. I always got better results using the IaStor driver ( Intel's AHCI driver) instead of Microsoft's. But, you can't complain about those scores.

I don't think its lousy at all AddRam, my 128GB Vertex scores pretty much the same as yours. And from what I have seen it is about correct for AS SSD test. Try running ATTO benchmark instead, I bet you get the advertised Read speeds in that.

That`s what I`m trying to figure out, how to get it to use Intel`s driver. The 1st thing I did after the install was drop in the cd to get intel`s sata drivers, is there a way to switch it or something, can`t grasp this one. Why aren`t I wayyyy closer to 6GB/s what gives with this ?

AddRam, It's not lousy at all. It is a very good score on AS SSD. But, If you install the Intel rapid Storage Tchnology (Intel's Raid driver) it contains the AHCI driver from Intel. You don't have to run raid, but that is the only way to get it that I know of. If you don't like the raid technology, disable it(IRST) in services.msc, but you will have the IaStor driver. I just leave it and have no problems. Some people don't like having a raid technology if they aren't going to run raid. As soon as you install it and reboot, you will have the IaStor driver as your AHCI driver.
