Hi I just got a OCZ Vertex4 128GB SSD, and wanted to check with you guys whether these benchmarks are ok or if I have something that needs to be tweaked for optimum performance:

We share disturbingly similar hardware, even down to how full the SSD is...

Running Crystal DiskMark on my Vertex 4 128GB, will post the results.
But from what i can see so far (seq read and writes), it is much faster than yours.

Have you updated to the latest Firmware? Are you on a SATAIII connection?

These speeds look about right for a Sata 2 controller. If its an old sata 2 board then your done. If its a newer sata 3 board make sure you have the ssd plugged into the correct port. Then check to see if AHCI is enabled in the bios.

If it is not remeber you have to adjust the windows registry before you enable it.

Sata controller set to AHCI. Motherboard name P6T SE, my mistake before sorry.

Too bad, does it make a big difference in everyday use?

Also would I be able to reuse this SSD on a Macbook pro by any chance?

So you mean it cannot work on a Mac? Does it take some special SSD or?

At least I got a performance boost over my previous standard drive anyway.

im saying i dont know because macs are known to be picky about what hardware you can put in them. it could very well work, i really just dont know

and yes, you should still be happy with the performance on sata 2

Even at those speeds your SSD is more than twice as fast as any traditional mechanical drive. Your windows boot time and games loading is probablly half of what it was.
