My ssd is getting lower scores then stated.

[kevmachine]

I got a 30gb ssd OCZ Vertex ata and it stats it reads up to 210/mb and writes at 75/mb it can be seen here on newegg http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227393

I just ran AS SSD Benchmark and im only getting low 50's for both read and write on multiple tests. anyone have any idea's? I am running windows 7 64, asrock extreme 4 p67 and 2600k. Any more info let me know.

Thanks.

Advertised speed for that drive is with ATTO benchmark software only.

Actual solid state drive performance will differ from published specifications and benchmarks. Companies choose a benchmark that makes their ssd's look most favorable. Some companies manipulate the benchmarks to make their ssd's look even more favorable. There is a reason the benchmarks are called "synthetic benchmarks". At best they are only a very very rough approximation of real world performance.

You have a 30GB ssd. The general rule of thumb is a small capacity ssd will not perform as well as a large capacity ssd. That's why companies typically send out 256Gb ssd's for technical reviews.

Please run the ATTO benchmarks Dereck47 mentioned and post your results.

ahh I see, you guys are right, I just ran it on another benchmark and got 180mb/s - 65mb/s alot better and closer to what it states. I was worried that I had something messed up in my bios. Thanks.
