Well, I decided to finally test my SSD and see if it was living up to its speeds for the marketing (it didn't feel like it was as crazy of an upgrade as people had told me it would be). It's in AHCI, did all the tweaks Tom's said to do minus turning off the flushing, and this is what I end up with in AS SSD. Also tried one with that flushing tweak turned off like they suggested and it made maybe a 1-2% difference which for the possible dangers is not worth it to me.
Those write speeds are atrocious. Samsung's magician software results are : 538 MB/s seq. read, 417 seq. write. 69110 random read (IOPS), 31959 random write (IOPS) The "up to" numbers for this drive are in the same order as before: 540 seq. read, 520 seq. write. 100000 random read, 90000 random write. The IOPS results are downright ridiculous--especially the write.
I've been scouring the internet for fixes and I haven't found anything that will work.
The only thing I haven't tried is updating firmware. I'm currently on version DXM03B0Q. While DXM04B0Q didn't do anything but fix low power environments (I'm on a desktop gaming machine so it doesn't apply), DXM05B0Q has killed so many people's SSD's that I'm scared to try. Not to mention that people on this 03B0Q firmware have posted WAAAAAY better test results than what I've got.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them!
