slow SSD?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

yes I know it says "up to"
but are there any usual reasons why it shouldnt run at the rated max speed?

(yes its plugged into a 6gb port)

2 things
1) that result doesnt look too bad imho
2) synthetic benchmarking doesnt show the full story.

i have a revo3 x3,
Up to 1500MB/s Sequential Read
Up to 1300MB/s Sequential Write

hd tune shows it doing 300mB/s
crystaldiskmark shows it doing 600mB/s


how full is the drive?
over 80% slows it right down

also get onto corsair support. they are pretty good, will run you through everything

[Pedro_The_Swift]

its about 3/4's full,,:o
(hard to believe as i dont normally put stuff on it)

cystaldiskmark huh?;)

maybe time for a clean install,,:angel:

i get the best result using cystaldiskmark

no need to reinstall, just delete your old porn and uninstall old programs you dont use.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

is this what I'm supposed to get?

Partition aligned properly? If not it will affect speed.
