I upgraded my system from 2 crucial 60gb ssd's in raid 0 to this 240 gb Mushkin deluxe drive.
I needed more room.
Noticed it was a little slow ,not really bad or anything for everyday use, I don't play games some Corel Draw, and office stuff mainly.
It is in a win 7 pro 64bit intel i7 3400 ,8gb ram couple sata 3 drives
pc. any ideas I can post pic of benchmark or stats if it will help.
Thanks
Gary

Solution
You should have the SSD plugged into one of the gray SATA 6.0 Gbps ports that are connected to the Intel P67 chipset.

The Intel controller has been proven to have better bandwidth than the Marvell 6.0 Gbps SATA controller.


To display a pic, go into Skydrive and find the link to the pic. It should end in a photo extension, like ".jpg" or ".png". Copy the link to your clipboard. Open a thread post window. Just above the box where you enter your question or comment, there is a line of options starting with "B" (Bold) I "Italic", Strike through and Underscore. Next are some Icons, the first of which looks like a chain. Next to that is a blue square with something green and brown in the square. If you hover your mouse over this Icon, it will say "Picture [Ctl + P]". Align your cursor at a point in the posting window where you wish to post your pic. Click on the aforementioned Icon and then enter Ctl + V to past the link which you copied from Skydrive. This will embed the link in your text but you cannot see the pic yet. Below thee text box there is a button for "Preview". Click on Preview or just click on "Answer" and your post with the embedded pic will now appear.

I hope that was clear.

Good luck!

The motherboard is the Asus P8P67 ands it's plugged into the Marvell 88SE9120 SATA 6Gb/s Controller, I did check for the latest updated firmware and drivers and they are installed.

I also had a blue screen of death with a dump showing the mrv9xx.sys file as being a problem I have since reinstalled and made sure the driver is the updated one. and I have not had the BSOD since, but that did not change the AS SSD benchmark hardly at all.

thanks ko888

I will try that and get back to you,
I did find an benchmark on my 60gb drive which was in raid here it is in xml have no pics of it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<ASSSDBenchmark XmlFormatVersion="1">-<Information><Name>C300-CTFDDAC064MAG ATA Device</Name><Firmware>0006</Firmware><Controller>msahci</Controller><Size>59.62 GB</Size><DateTime>4/19/2011 8:39:27 AM</DateTime><BenchmarkVersion>1.6.4067.34354</BenchmarkVersion><Mode>MB/s</Mode><Note/><Signature/></Information>-<SeqTest><Read>338.95 MB/s</Read><Write>62.25 MB/s</Write></SeqTest>-<Random4K1TTest><Read>31.37 MB/s</Read><Write>47.49 MB/s</Write></Random4K1TTest>-<Random4K64TTest><Read>176.26 MB/s</Read><Write>59.06 MB/s</Write></Random4K64TTest>-<AccTimeTest><Read>0.123 ms</Read><Write>0.681 ms</Write></AccTimeTest>-<Score><Read>242</Read><Write>113</Write><Total>477</Total></Score></ASSSDBenchmark

that didn't score very high either , i am not 100 % sure ,but i think that was also plugged into the marvell connector, i may be wrong because it was raid ,the intel controller would have been better. but i would have to go back and see if i kept any system captures or printouts on it, at this point i can't see anything that would tell me which connector it was running on.

i will shut it down, and make the switch and post back in here....
Thanks
Gary
