Show us your SSD performance

Had to back off my 10% OC to run this don't think that matters can anyone tell me if this is good?

Looks good Alan. Here's my 128GB Crucial as a comparison (taken a couple of months ago)

tw33k, I noticed that this benchmark progrm always shows the 4K read slower than the 4K write. That is a little strange. Could that be a program error or is there some explanation.

Overall those are very good scores, that SSD is very fast.

Do you have a 6Gb/s SATA controller?

If not you will be limited with the 3Gb/s controller.

You will be a little slower with the Nvidia controller, from what I've read about it.

You can compare to some other C300 64GB SSDs at this AS SSD Benchmark thread, just click on the Google Spreadsheet link under the spreadsheet to see it better.

The range for the C300 64GB is:
Min 270 with a Marvell 9128 controller and mv91xx storage driver. (same as yours)
Max 598 with a AMD SB850 controller and AMSATA storage driver.

With your C300 64GB and same controller, you got a far higher score than anyone on that list.

So, ya, it's really good.

Dave76,

Yes I'm using the ASUS PCIe USB3/SATA6g adapter and running to the card with their supplied SATA III cable. The ASUS uses the Marvel controller. Man what a great add on for the $26.00 (card) and $144 (drive). Sure it's small capacity and yes those are still big bucks for a boot/app. drive but man the thing has upped my enjoyment factor by a health percentage. Can't wait for 128's and 256's to fall in price.

Cheers, Alan

It's a good question and Ill look into it because, for me at least, it doesn't just happen with this software; same thing happens with CrystalDiskMark as well

My GSkill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD.

There are quite a few points to look at in this set of results that show how a drive will perform with Windows 7 as a boot drive. The important comparison here is between the Phoenix Pro 120GB drive and the Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB. Both drives are high on the list of consumers looking for a next generation SSD, but here we see that the Phoenix Pro has a significant real world performance advantage when compared to the 128GB C300.

Real world tests mean the ones that matter!

Some info on the G3 Intel SSDs planning, sizes and possible release dates:

My 30GB Vertex just died ... AGAIN!!
(been using as a secondary Drive for Documents, PF, Pictures etc. since last RMA)

Was browsing the forums, and BSOD ... then the drive totally disappeared

I got it to show briefly, but only in Diskpart (oddly) as a 17MB drive.

Then gone again. Now, the PC hangs at post if that drive is even connected.


Should have known, it showed up as corrupt just 2 days ago.

RMA time again I guess.
Im beginning to hate this drive and not sure I even want another one

That would be a PITA!

This is my Intel G2 80GB SSD

Don't know if it is good or bad?

 

[fseal]

Definately good. AHCI, good alignment, fast threaded reads. Nothing wrong there! Hows it /feel/

 

[Zenith2009]

Feels very lightweight It opens everything in instant. I wonder if I could do Raid 0 with 40GB and 80GB Intel G2 SSD disks? Different size and different speed will be an issue?!

I personally would not Raid it. For the little gain you buy additional complexity.

Hello Zenith2009, welcome to Seven Forums!

The drives have to be an exact match for a RAID array.

 

[Zenith2009]

Thanx to all.
I have learned the hard way and this is the result:

 

[profdlp]

...AHCI, good alignment, fast threaded reads...

The AHCI part I figured out from Zenith2009's screenshot. Mine says iaStor in the same place, referring to the Intel Storage Driver. Is that OK?

As for the good alignment part, how is that determined?

If you made a new windows7 install, the installer takes care of it. If you e.g. restore an image, you have to do it yourself. E.G like this in cmd:

1 once the elevated cmd window is open type diskpart
2 list disk
3 select disk X with X being the number given for your ssd
4 clean - this destroys all partition/volume data on the disk.
5 create partition primary align 64
6 active
7 exit

Hello whs, wouldn't "clean all" be better as that over-writes all the data, isn't "clean" just like a regular format and we all know that a format does not actually remove old data?

I guess you got a point. The only problem I have is that clean all zeros all the sectors. And that is not so swift if the SSD is brand new (because of Trim).

I totally agree with you about a "new" SSD, but that's not what we're referring to here.
