Hi All,
I've been having this odd issue with this new Gskill Sniper 60GB drive. I've installed it in a AMD X4 630 system with a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM board. Running the CrystalDiskMark, I am getting sequential reads at 150-160MB/sec and writes at close to 100MB/sec. This seems low compared to my older Phoenix Pro 120 which reaches read speeds at around 200MB/sec. The SATA setup is in raid mode because I have two other HDD drives in Raid 1. I tried updating the BIOS, switched SATA cables and nothing seemed to work. I then took our the drive and hooked it up to a Gigabyte MB using the Intel P35chipset and the read speeds were around 200MB/sec which is what I expect.
I then ran HD Tune and while it started at around 150MB/sec it had sustained close to 200 for about 75% of the test with an average of around 188MB/sec. The other strange thing is that the CrystalDiskInfo doesn't even detect the drive. I also updated the FW to the latest 3.2 code and installed the latest chipset drivers from AMD.
Could it be that CrystalDiskMark doesn't work well with AMD chipsets?
