Show us your SSD performance 2

Good results, good scores. CPU and mobo do not matter.

Thanks. Iwas wondering about it and am glad I fell into this topic by chance. Now I know.

I'd have to disagree a bit there.. Sure, CPU plays a minor part, but different motherboards do contain different chipset that control that drive access. (: The drive itself is capable of much more.

Here's mine. What do the results mean? (MY CPU is an intel i5, and my MB is ASUS. P7P55D-E LX, should this matter).

From this page, it seems that board has multiple SATA controllers. Just a thought, but have you tried that SSD through each of them?

Thanks. My SSD is actually running from a PCI-e card purchased and attached separately: the reason being that Asus stated that their 'Marvell® PCIe SATA 6Gb/s controller' ports, being problematic, were not recommended for SSD. To my disappointment and hence bought the extra car. Knowing this would you still suggest trying others? I ask this because the card/SSD were quite problematic at first (Windows not initially recognizing it and other problems).

Sorry, I've got no experience with that Asus board or with third party SATA controllers, so I can't really help much there.. Since you're not using the onboard controllers, the numerous "slow SSD" posts that Google shows relating to the motherboard are rather useless. That said, there do seem to be a great many people asking that question...

Basically, if the speed is bugging you and you really want to get more out of it, the first step would be identifying the cause of the bottleneck. Other than that, I'm not sure what else to suggest at the moment.
