I just bought this SSD, it is connected to a 6 Gb/s Sata port (B75M-D3H Rev: 1.1), i have Windows 8 and the motherboard recommended drivers installed but when a benchmark start running it will not pass of 300Mb/S speed, i have it running on AHCI but none of the things i do will help to increase R and W speed
 
Solution
try using hdtune and change the que that your using. a lot of ssd vendor fudge there numbers depending on the que and data size there moving.

I've tried with the latest intel drivers but it gives me the same result (looks like it is connected to a SATAII port).
I'm running ATTO, transfer size .5 to 8192, direct I/O, Overlapped I/O, Queue Depth: 4, Total Length: 256 Mb

Yeah.. maybe is the benchmark, ive been testing it with home applications and worked pretty good, just made a few tweaks in bios like disabling power saving stuff, also disabling indexing and stoping some services, thanks.
 
It’s possible that you have the drive connected to port SATA2_1 instead of port SATA3_0.

Both SATA ports are on the same SATA connector, so it’s easy to confuse one with the other.

Move your SATA cable to the other SATA port and run another benchmark.

See page 14 of your motherboard manual for the location of the ports.

Yes, it is about 40MB/s slower (after i changed settings in BIOS it went faster)
