Just installed SSD and see now speed increase

Shaun98 · Jun 17, 2015

Hello, Ive been having a really bad time with this new SSD. I have just fully installed it and got it working but i am seeing no speed increase at all im writing from a HDD to the SSD and im getting 80mb per second. also im getting a screen when i boot up that displays my mac address

any fixes?

Thanks

If you are copying from an HDD, the speed is limited to the read speed of the HDD. If you do a clean install of youre OS on the SSD, you will notice the speed increase on your system.

done that and honestly can't notice any difference, Infact my startup is even slower due to the Mac address thing

Is the OS actually on the SSD?
How did it get there?
What OS is it?
What is this MAC address thing? What is displaying this?

Right, I done what you said on my last post USAF disconnected hardrive and left the SSD in formatted both drives and installed windows fresh on the SSD, the SSD is now C:. and now everytime i boot i get a mac address message that takes about 1 minute to finnish ill post the exact message once i finnish these updates...

thanks for the help!

Still confused about this MAC address thing. Any way you can post a screenshot of that happening?

RE: any idea about the read only thing?

Go to My Computer > Properties of Drive C: > Permissions > Allow permission to read and write with the SSD

If you don't see this, burn a free Linux ISO onto a disk (it's completely free, not pirated) and start up your computer, with the configuration of boot to CD/DVD drive. Or, use UNetbooten to put a linux iso on a thumb drive, and set the boot config in your bios to boot from USB drive. Boot linux (by selecting try linux without installing) upon boot, and when the desktop shows, go to computer > right-click properties on drive C: > allow permission to the SSD

Bet boot order is set to PXE first, then HD.
