Show us your SSD performance 2

[mjf]

HD Tune 2.55 is the free version - correct? Its results are limited but appear to work for my Crucial SSD. So are we saying these results are incorrect for V2.55 & SSDs?

 

[Hopalong X]

My bad.

V2.55 supports most SSD's. It was the v2.3 that was HDD.

About half way down the page for v2.55
http://www.hdtune.com/download.html

Supported operating systems: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7.

Hardware requirements: hard disk (internal or external), SDD, USB stick, memory card reader.
Note: due to hardware limitations some drives may not support all functions.

Licensing information: free for personal use

Well thre wnt my one mistake for the yeart.

I wouldn't worry about it (I'm sure you're not!). But where do you get this Anvil Storage Utility from and is there a free/trial version? The Beta link version is finished now.
I can't find it.

 

[Hopalong X]

I'll ask Anvil if he has a free version to play with.

Here's mine. Do I need to realign?:

 

[whs]

Looks like the alignment is OK.

Alright, thanks. I thought it would be since the Windows 7 installer does it for me.

OK, here is an OCZ Solid-3 60GB on an older i7-870 System with a SATA-II controller.
Also there is a Kingston HyperX 120GB SATA-III in the same system, and on the same controller. Scores are nowhere near some of the best posted here. But real world usage is great. System is a lot faster with them in here. Getting ready to put a 2TB Seagate HDD in it for meaningful storage space.

Thanks, I eventually stumbled on it.

Based on Anvil, I can now see that my speed decreases with queue depth instead of increasing.
My NCQ is apparently on. I think this shows up in the AS SSD test under the 4K 64 test.
There is a decent sized thread on the Crucial forum on this with no resolution.

I use a RAMDisk from DataRAM:

Another one

This is from a different PC. It's a i7-2600k in an ASRock mainboard. The drive is a Mushkin Chronos 240GB.

Finally got some time to upgrade the FW on my M4, some new scores here. Added the specs for this laptop in my other info area.

This is how my 64gb M4 scores on Anvil

What's wrong with this picture, but you have to remember i'm running an nforce motherboard with no ahci capabilities.

the alignment is right, but with only IDE mode, that is probably the best you are going to get. But, it is still much faster than a spinning hard drive. If you would like to compare. This is AS SSD of my Western Digital Black (1002FAEX) sata 3 hard drive.

As you can see comparing your AS SSD to Essenbe's the 4k is greatly faster.
The access/response time is 100X faster on Read.

Very good considering the limitations.

Thanks guy's for the info i kinda figured that was the case, as far as working it's great no BSOD's, fast boots. You would think since this is 3rd gen the manufacturer's would have worked with NVidia to make the SSD work as well with nforce motherboards as it does with Intel. I'm still happy that someone came up with the fix atleast we can use the SSD just not to it's full capabilities.

 

[essenbe]

You still have a fast SSD. It is worlds faster than a hard drive. Good job.
