I am concerned that the performance of my drive isn't as good as it should be and also I get lags (about 5 seconds) especially when running a movie. Even though the actual movie is on a normal hard disk, there are other instances where there is also a lag, such as running Skyrim which is installed on the ssd drive.
I have googled this to find out how I can check the performance, but people who have used different kinds of benchmarkers have had varied results, depending on whether or not the test used compressed data for example and it all seems very confusing and the results are mixed.
Furthermore on my Z77 Extreme6 motherboard there seems to be an option to either have raid 0 (for my two seagate 500 gig drives) or ahci , however I am informed on this thread http://forums.tweaktown.com/asrock/52916-asrock-z77-extreme-6-ssd-drives-raid-0-problem.html#post457329
That my motherboard will operate the ssd drive as ahci even if it wasn't selected in the bios.
Someone please help me, i just want to see if the drive is working as well as it should be, while it's still under warranty.
