Thanks WHS, I have now and I also checked setup and both are AHCI and a slight improvement I guess with the benchmark.

Congrats on the new SSD, they are a great performance booster, enjoy.

Update;
Before Alignment

After Alignment (I found Paragons Personal Edition (Free))

 

[Hopalong X]

Much better Jerome.
Glad you found a free version of Paragon.

The Nvidia hardware/driver is limiting as you know.
You now have your full potential of the SSD now with your other hardware.

I just saw that myself, Dave. Now I have to resist the urge to get it and RAID it with the one I already have. I know, RAID's a pain and not worth it...blah...blah...blah...but, hey - this is a "Performance" thread, right? Think of all the pretty numbers I'd get...

Or maybe use it to upgrade the 64GB model I have in my laptop...

 

[Dave76]

Which one did you choose?
RAID or Laptop?

I ended up passing for the time being. I'm still trying to get an internship for the summer and unless that happens I may be tightening my belt for a while. I was sorely tempted, though.

RAID 0 Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB. Can anyone let me know if there is anything I can do to improve write?

Well thank you very much, A Guy, I'm glad to be here.

While it's not Windows 7 related, it is SSD related, so here goes.

At the same time that I got the SSD for my Windows 7 machine, I also bought a Samsung 830 (256 GB) for my MacBook Pro.

Here's the comparison between the original 5400rpm HDD and the new SSD:

I have the impression that the tool measures the time to cache and not the time to disk

I have the typical HDD, is good to move to SSD (I can show my performance the)?

It is always good to move to a SSD if you are looking for performance. It will be easier and cheaper with a desktop than with a laptop. What do you have?

Hi there,
I have Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB 32MB cache, but it's too much noise with a external cooler.

 

[whs]

Is that in a desktop.

Welcome to Seven Forums RedwinD. A SSD is the best performance upgrade currently (assuming you don't have a terribly old outdated system to start with )

Samsung 830 128GB.

Marvell moboard controller with Marvell driver.
Newest I could find. Which isn't saying much.
Not sure if msachi or Intel would work better.

WEI disk went from 7.6 to 7.9.

Intel controllers usually get better scores than Marvell does.
