Another test - still under download stress

I don't think it is a good idea to run the test whilst you are downloading. Maybe you can run the Atto again when the system is free.

A 240GB Mushkin SSD for $138

I think that is a good deal. I just bought it because my experience with my other Mushkin Chronos SSD, which I had since over 1 year, is very good. Reliable and fast. And usually SSDs that size go for over $200.

You do see where it says pciide-BAD? Could be connected to wrong port or a BIOS setting.

Could also be an alignment problem. Check that:

Couldn't that also be that ahci isn't enabled?

I don't think so. I have a system not using AHCI and 'BAD' does not show.

You installed it in IDE mode, BAD idea. This is a complete guide (step by step for your OCZ SSD ) straight from OCZ ABC GUIDE - New Build 2013

A short version would be to secure erase, no formatting/offsetting etc.
Before install set AHCI In motherboard settings and set as *Sata* not *IDE* have the AMD SATA AHCI Driver (from the motherboard download page) extracted on a flash drive and click load drivers during installation. Also if you have Gsata ports, you could try those? Unless this is a PCIE SSD? Could be in the wrong lane?

Your SSD is still 'Bad'. Did you ever check the alignment.

That's the same screenshot Wolfgang.

Thanks for all of your answers.

Ok - so i cant just buy a SSD - format, and install Windows 7 on it. I need to do a lot of technical stuff?

Is there a guide somewhere for NON technical people?

I have found and installed "Marvell9128_V1001034_XpVistaWin7" from ASUS site, but that driver only improve my score by 10 points in AS SSD benchmark.

Here is a little guide: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/149969-ssd-install-transfer-operating-system.html

But if you install Windows from an installation DVD, there is not too much to do. Alignment, Defrag, etc., is properly set by the installer. You just might want to get rid of the hiberfile.

Thanks. Yes I have installed win7 from disk on my new SSD. And now I have deleted the hiberfile.

In my BIOS its set to EDI - but If I change it to something else, the boot of the PC is restarting all the time. Back to EDI and all works fine again

oK changed the reg database and enabled in BIOS

Now another result

Looks good. I would leave it like that. Any further 'tuning' is liable to mess it up or have little effect in real life.

Well since it is Black Friday and I needed a bigger capacity SSD I just Installed the intel SSD listed below which is an upgrade from a Intel 330 - 120 GB SSD bought last Nov.

Here's mine had problems running Rapid mode Samsung Magician was claiming my Haswell i7-4770k was too slow the CPU needs to run at 1GHz or faster.

Mine didn't want to run in ACHI it ran the best in Dell's OEM HDD setup. I read Intel's controllers work and adjust with the SSD somehow so I left it alone and as you can see in my previous post of the benchmarks it's doing great in non ACHI mode.
