Hey everyone,
Just recently installed a new ssd (sandisk ultra plus 256gb) in my system (Dell XPS 420 on Sata II) with a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit, and i have noticed a marked improvement in performance, however i'm just trying to make sure i am getting the performance i am supposed to after reading several articles.
When i test in AS SSD Benchmark i get an overall benchmark score of around 251 (early 200ish m/s read and 200ish m/s write) it also shows 'pciide BAD' in the software even though i have done the necessary registry changes to enable ahci mode after Windows installation and as far as i can see there is no option to enable it in my BIOS, the only option i see is that is close is 'RAID Autodetect / ATA' or 'RAID on' which is currently set to autodetect.
Is there anything i can do or need to do to further improve performance? Should i install the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver? or is that the best i'm going to get on my system?
