Hi,
I am brand new to this website and kind of a newbie when it comes to hardware. I installed a Sandisk extreme II 480gb into my computer, recently had it built by a custom online computer building website, it just had a standard 2TB hard drive installed which worked fine, I just wanted to install a SSD to make my boot and programs faster.
I connected the SSD with a power cable and a 6gb/s sata cable into my 6gb/s sata connectors on SSD and motherboard. I wiped everything on my previous hard drive and installed brand new windows 7 on SSD. Installed the standard programs onto my pc and left the 2tb hard drive empty. I have noticed that my boot time has barely increased ( about 1 minute), with a more or less empty SSD. I have done a couple of benchmarks on HD Tune and my max read speed is only 199mb/s which is not anywhere near what was advertised. The BIOS is set to AHCI. I have a print screen of the benchmark but I can't find a option to attach it anywhere.
PC Specs
Intel(R) Core™ i7-4820K Quad-Core 4.2Ghz(Overclocked)
750W Supply
16GB (4x4GB) DDR3/2133mhz Quad Channel Memory (Kingston HyperX Predator w/Heat Spreader)
GIGABYTE X79-UP4 Intel X79 Chipset
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 4GB
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.
Craig
