Hello,
First let me say that I usually find what I am looking for in these forums and I thank all the knowledgable people for sharing information.
I have an older Asus P6X58D-E and i7 960 OC'd at 4.2GHz and Win 7 64bit OS. I just purchased my first SSD by getting a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB. I'm running the SSD in slot 1 (as opposed to slot 0) on the Marvell 6GB/s controller. I have read lots of topics on the Marvell 9128 and see that it is not very well spoken of. I'm also running 2x 250GB revision II drives in raid0 and one 500GB drive on the Intel controller.
When I run the fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify in command prompt it returns a 0. This would indicate that Trim is working and Trim only works if AHCI is enabled, correct? AHCI is enabled in BIOS for the Marvell 9128 but Samsung Magician says AHCI is deactivated. I am not showing any AHCI devices in Device Manager either.
However, check out these results for Magician and CrystalDiskMark;
As you can see my results are outstanding. Or, are these numbers skewed due to AHCI or Trim not properly running? I'm new to SSD's so any information is most appreciated. I believe I have installed all drivers for my motherboard and I have installed the latest Intel RST driver.
My concern is speed as well as longevity.
Thank you very much!
