Speed problem with my SSD what to do ??!

[Alpine]

Hello guys.

My neighbor come to my house this w/e this see my new build. Since we play together on BF3. He was interested with my new build.

So he came look the build and asked me what kind of speed i was getting with my ssd. Since i didn't have look at this yet, i finally give a try few minutes ago.

I have use AS SSD Benchmark 1.64237.30508.


Look at the disaster.


In bios: AHCI is activate.
Windows: Everything look fine.
HardwareL SSD is plugged in 6GB/s port.


What do i need to do ?! Format and re-install windows ??



P.S. Mod, can you move my tread in the troubleshooting section please ? i post this not at the right place.
Thank you

Have you updated the BIOS, installed the latest chipset drivers? Is the drive attached to the blue SATA III port? How much free space is available on the drive? If you filled it up, the performance will most certainly drop off, let it sit idle for awhile then bench it again.

Did you use default cluster size?

were you transferring files as this was running?

I'm with Generic User #2 that something was happening to the SSD while you were benching... Did you try running the benchmark more than once?
To have 4K read being SLOWER than 4K write is not right.

Bios is update to lastest version
SSD is connected in the 6GB sata port.
50GB free on 112GB (8G is reversed)
I use the default cluster size.
No transfering file while benchmarking
When i did have post the pictures, it was my third benchmark.


Ill do another test right now.... screenshot in few mins

here another screenshot..

I close Kaspersky av for sure.

Those are SATA3gs read speeds, below is my vintage agi 2 ssd speeds, look at the reads vs yours.
It could be a faulty sata6g drivers that end up running the ports at 3g speeds

should it not be 4k aligned?

AHCI is enabled in bios but is your chipset using the proper drivers for AHCI as this may cause issues

Corsair has a good thread on this How to Enable/Check TRIM/AHCI in Windows 7 - The Corsair Support Forums

If your drive has alot of extra crud from installs etc it can be taking up the space and possibly affecting your speed, maybe run Ccleaner to get rid of any extra stuff left over and give the drive time to trim and garbage collect, maybe it will help?

There is alot that can be done to fix certain issues, I think most SSD do not deal well when blocks are to full as they have to shift everything around which affects thier speed(far as I can tell) as it throws thier algorithms for a loop.

Do you have a properly sized paging file for your system, I know this helps overall performance, not sure if it would help in this regard though.
