SSD OPTIMISATION ISSUE

[arjunratnadev]

Hello,

I just bought a Corsair Force GS 180 gb internal hard drive I installed windows 8 in it and made it a primary drive and then when I run ATTO on it its read and write speeds are way less then Corsair claims. The read speed is reaching upto 296 mb/s and write speed upto 390 mb/s after I enabled and disabled the write caching on my SSD oh and all the connections are cool Sata 3 cable and all that is correct. Any suggestions to increase the speed kindly reply.

The registry trick from 7 should work in 8. I made a switch with the Enterprise evaluation and it worked. took 2 tries to get it all right, but it was fine in AHCI after. I was moving from RAID - > AHCI

thank you very much Mr. Kenny3105 your reply was very helpful and i just found out that i forgot to switch my SATA configuration to AHCI mode, oh i am so sorry for myself now i cant even switch back my windows 8 from IDE to AHCI becoz i guess that windows 8 is new and i may not find the necessary drivers online or from microsoft, but i did find a fix it software to revert windows 7 from IDE mode to AHCI but donno if the same works for my genuine windows 8 oh i am soooo screwd up i donno what to do i just recently installed many apps but i guess i would have to make a fresh install

sorry nukemaster the link superuser did not give me direct answer or i did not understand it properly i mean it said to change some hkey command in user control and do something which was for vista that might not work on windows 8 and there was another suggestion which would make me continuously change some command on evey boot but i guess just to make sure its safe i think i have no other way, i would have to reinstall it with AHCI mode, well if you can try please find something that would work perferctly the there should be a definite method for it

I believe it was the StartOverride part that I had used. It was when some of the early Win8 previews came out.

I will see if I can check it out again on my Win8 load.
