Solid State Drives (SSD)

[Slyver]

Hello,

Today i tested my M4 128gb SSD with AS SSD, and well, i think there's something wrong with the benchmark after i saw benchmarks from other people:

My System specs:

Asus Sabertooth 990fx Chipset

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @4ghz

One another 1TB HDD.

HD6970

WriteCache Disabled

Fresh installed,79,2gb free, I'm running another virtual machine on the SSD.

So... Why is the 4K speed that low ._.? (3,24MB/s writing O_o)

Really nice if anyone could give me some confirmed working tips for my M4...

Thanks in advance

I can't see your results imag yet, so other issues may apply, but for now you want Write cache enabled.

Enabled write cache, rebooted, tested again:

The results are in:

512,67 mb/s read / 202,30 mb/s write seq

28,08 mb/s read / 94,76 MB/s write 4K

250,81mb/s read / 134,59 mb/s write 4K-64Thrd

0,067ms read / 0,211ms write

guess, it really was the write cache... thanks lsdmeasasp

That sounds a lot better, glad I could help you get that sorted out!

Now, since I still can't see your images yet, it would probably also be best to install the AMD chipset/SATA drivers too if you have not already, you can get the latest ones here

Yeah, downloading them right now. Thanks ^___^

So, how did things go after updating the drivers?  Just checking in, no rush meant or anything like that!

[Slyver]

Yeah, the benchmarks lookin' now even a bit beyond average

Thanks for your advice !
