ok lol

[Shadowmeph]

ok just finished the first thing I am doing is running Crystal disk mark then posting it here [IMG][/IMG]

it still sits at the windows startup screen

chipset maybe just a guess? it is a older 680i. those writes are looking better.

Those last reads/writes are exactly what I had in the couple weeks I had the same Kingston 64GB V Series SSD. Just make sure to optimize the drive the best you can such as disabling system restore, page file, hibernation and disk defragmentation. There are also a lot of little tweaks you can do to make the drive a bit speedier, but those benches are pretty much what's expected from this drive.

Small file numbers look much better. The high end is still low...but AMD + SSD does result in some performance hit. But not that much. I'd yank the drive and try in another system to see how it performs. That might be the best you are going to get.

He disabled write cache, seems to be the first thing people do but it kills performance on this particular SSD because it does have cache.

[gingerbee]

i always enable mine and it improves performance when cache is there.

[bojangles]

I think Windows is smart enough if it wants to use the SSD as cache, especially when they system has 8 GB of RAM...I wouldn't bother disabling cache.

[AkG]

write caching vs no write caching is a minor improvement one way or the other (helps some.....hinders other SSDs)....it wont tank your write speed to sub 25mb/s though.

Looks like the drive was getting into a degraded state. THAT would tank speeds that much. Now it could just be the AMD hit all SSDs suffer (AMDs controller is much worse / inefficient then even ICH 9 for SSDs).
