OK, I know this topic has been done to death on here, and I've done my reading.
Haven't found my exact problem, so I gotta post.
I recently got a Samsung 840 series SSD, 250G.
My board is a P8P67M-PRO. I have an auxiliary HDD also in my system.
My goal was to install install windows fresh on the SSD.
I attached the SSD (to the blue 6GB Marvell port) and installed windows.
I've done everything else...optimized the drive, disabled write caching, etc.
I've also enabled AHCI mode.
Using Samsung Magic's benchmark, I get around 360 read and about 168 write.
The advertised speeds are around 515 read and around 300 write.
So, I came across using the Intel 6GB port instead of the Marvell.
I changed it to the Intell, but speeds haven't changed.
Also worth mentioning in the BIOS, I can find the option to change the Marvell controller to AHCI, but no options for the Intel port.
I REALLY don't want to reinstal windows again. Is there a way to get that Intel port working up to speed?
Thanks...I know this query is a bit redundant, but I swear I've done a lot of reading on these forums and can't quite get a handle on my exact situation.
