Hi guys, not entirely sure if this thread is on the correct place. I apologuise for that!
I hope you can enlighten me as im still wondering after a lot of searching.
I have a sata 3 (Corsair Force 3) ssd. And a sata 2 motherboard (gigabyte ex58 ds4). And im wondering if it is possible to boost the speed with an x4 pcie sata 3 card. If so wich card do you recommend? Do you have one to? If so what speeds are you getting?
I bought for a couple of months ago an cheap pcie card advertised as a x4 sata 3 pcie card.
1st testing made it clear that the speed did not increase.
In Crystaldiskmark I get Read: 205mb/s, write 148,5 mb/s. And same result or worse with the pciecard installed. The card is installed in a x8 port.
Oddly enough in Samsung Magican it states that, if i install the generic drives I get speeds:
Read 212 mb/s and write 379 mb/s.
And with the drives installed that came with the cd, with Enforce driver disabled. I get this speeds:
Read 231 mb/s and write 416 mb/s.
So I dont know what to belive any more.
Emailing the company of the card resulted in that they confirmed that the card only was x2.
I have read other threads where ppl recommend an High point rocket 640 card. This is unfortunately not being sold near me or the price is to high.
I hope you can help me as I would like to extend the life of my computer.
Thank you in advance!
