Hi all,
I have some performance issues that I can't seem to straigthen out.
These screenshots should give you an idea what I mean:
The SSD is connected to a GigaByte GA-770TA-UD3 through the AMD SB710 host (the Marvell 9128 controller performs even worse).
Latest BIOS update, AHCI enabled before installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Used all the latest drivers.
What I've tried so far:
- Used the latest dedicated drivers for the SATA chipset instead of the generic Microsoft drivers that come with Windows 7
- Used the latest Intel SSD Toolbox to check the firmware and use the optimizer
- Checked if TRIM is enabled on the drive
- Prefetch, defrag,... is enabled or disabled as it should for the SSD
- Used HDDErase to completely clean the drive with the internal "enhanced" command
- Spend lots of time reading up on the subject, but can't figure out what's wrong
- I've looked into the RST drivers, but as far as I understand these are only for Intel chipset motherboards, correct?
- Ran the benchmark several times, and even though of course the exact figures change a bit, they're consistent...
Any ideas on where to go from here? I think I have done all the obvious things, but might have missed something?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Dieter
