Hello

I have an Acer travel mate 5742G core i5, and i bought for my friend same specifications ACER ASPIRE V3-571G with core i5, For my friend i bought Samsung 840 Series SSD 250 GB and it was so fast after installing windows7.

I bought the same SSD for my 5742G and installd windows7. I made upgrade for the firmware of my SSD and make a benchmark test and it was slower than V3-571G.

my test of 5742G was (Seq. Read 270) (Seq. Write 241)
my friend test of V3-571G was (Seq. Read 524) (Seq. Write 244)

where is the problem in my computer. is it bus speed or the SSD not good or the update of the firmware.

thanks

Best solution

email acer see if the sata port on the laptops are the same..ie one could be a sata 3g the other a sata 6g port. if his is a 6g port it going to have twice the bandwith as the 3g port. make sure your laptop bios is up to date and the sata port set to achi mode not ide. make sure running the newest intel chipset drivers.
