So I overcame one of the problems mentioned in this thread (I think). That being the extra Windows 7 installation.
But now, the intel SSD toolbox still won't work, and I have another problem. I used a program called bst5.exe to assess read & write performance. I'm getting close to 79 MB/sec max write performance, which is good, that exceeds their spec. But for read I'm only getting 112 MB/sec!! This is less than half of the rated read rate. Any ideas what the problem could be? My system again:
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D Pro
Processor: Intel i5-750
RAM: Corsair XMS3-1600, 8GB
GPU: eVGA GTX260
OS Drive: Intel SSDSA2M080G2GN
Data Drive: Samsung HD103SJ
Could it be something wrong with the motherboard? Just a bad SSD? Sort of at a loss here. I'm certainly disappointed, I mean this is not what I was hoping for when I bought this thing.
