Show us your SSD performance 2

I think I may have static electricity my SSD, it's less then a year old Typically I'm extremely careful; there must have been static in me at the time

doubtful it dissipates quickly. Ground yourself then touch the SSD. Of course if you did zap it earlier....

What's it (not) doing?

When the computer is on for a few hours, the monitor will shut off, the computer will make three beeps, and I will get an error code of 75. When I check the bios the drive that the computer should be booting from is placed in slot three and one of my other drive is in slot 1, simple re-arranging solves the problem, and the computer boots fine. As of recently, keeping the computer off for several hours, I don't have to change the boot order in the bios as all, very odd.

Your A Data is a whole lot faster than mine, maybe size matters.

Another benchmark; :) ; seems it gets better all the time.

I have a Mushkin Chronos 120 Gb SSD and I just benchmarked it. Is this as pathetic as it looks?



It's a SATA III and I have SATA III ports on my MB, but I don't get near the performance that you guys do based on other benchmarks in this thread. It's like my machine is running in SATA 1.

Weird!

Mellon Head, I really have no idea. I assume from the info in AS SSD you are in AHCI mode using the AMD drivers. It says they are OK. My only suggestion would be to roll back to the MSAHCI driver and see if you get better performance. I assume you are connected to port 0 (or 1) whichever is the 1ST port on your motherboard. If not, maybe try that. I'm just throwing out ideas off the top of my head. Mushkin as I see it has rated the drive at 450 MB speed. However, I would suggest you test it in ATTO. I will bet you get better numbers, most likely much better. Sandforce controllers compress data as they write and is how they gain speed. AS SSD uses incompressible data for their tests, which any Sandforce SSD will show worse results. ATTO, does not use incompressible data and Sandforce controllers usually fare much better with that test. That is what I have seen with my older Vertex drive. I will score much better in ATTO than AS SSD.

Mellon Head, after saying all of that, I would have expected a higher score from your drive, but it is not a terrible score. It depends on what you are comparing it to. Compared to a mechanical hard drive it is great. I can show you an AS SSD of a WD1002FAEX, a 7200 RPM 1TB drive. It gets a score of 15 on AS SSD. I'll show it if you want to see it. So, your score is not so bad.
