I bought an 80 GB vertex 2 SSD a couple weeks ago and it seems to be running slower than I had expected. I have windows 7 installed on it and I have 2 other 1 TB hard drives. I just changed it to ACHI mode in bios but it really doesn't run much faster than my caviar black for some reason.
Using HD tune and a 1MB block size, the vertex 2 is getting an average speed of 139.1 MB/S, minimum 120ish max of 170ish, access time of .2 ms, burst rate of 89.8 MB/s
The caviar black had an average of 89.9, Max of 110.1 decreasing almost linearly to a minimum of 54.8, access time of 12.2 ms, burst rate of 134.4
I was under the impression, however, that the vertex 2 would be an average speed of at least 200+ MB/s, and I've seen plenty of people post those speeds, what kind of tweaks should I be doing to increase the speed of the vertex drive?
Let me add that the drive was set to IDE mode and I changed it to ACHI, downloaded the drivers and restarted less than an hour ago. This benchmark was run 5 minutes ago. Could the TRIM just not have had enough time to kick in and work yet?
