    SSD 830 speed

    RST is updated. We are not really making progress, CDM just shows slightly higher numbers :) (as-ssd just measured seq write 225) Take your time, it took me weeks to post about this problem :)

    chipset @ 9.2.0.1021 ; RST @ 10.8.0.1003 ; ssd magician performance optimization once more and sequential write is ~230-240

    SSD 830 speed

    drive was new alignment is ok (105 906 176 / 4096 = 25 856) After performance optimization sequential write is 220, but that seems to be within error margin RST 10.6.0.1002 Where can I check chipset drivers version?

    SSD 830 speed

    Is this normal performance for a Samsung 128GB 830 series SSD as a system drive? Writes seem to be slow (and always have been)

    Does anyone know any other reviews where SATA3 drives were tested on SATA2?

    SSD/Vista/Sata 2 -> Samsung?

    I stopped looking at crucial ssds after I heard about whine under load http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Solid-State-Drives-SSD/Ringing-noise-on-m4/m-p/50658/highlight/true#M15717 http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Solid-State-Drives-SSD/M4-Electronic-noise-under-load/td-p/50110

    SSD/Vista/Sata 2 -> Samsung?

    Also, judging just by these scores http://www.anandtech.com/show/4159/ocz-vertex-3-pro-preview-the-first-sf2500-ssd/8 it would seem that 470 operates at Sata2 limits.

    SSD/Vista/Sata 2 -> Samsung?

    bump SSD buying just became much harder after sandforce released its newest firmware which might fix most BSODs anyway I wanted to repeat the most basic question: Is it worth going with faster Sandforce/Samsung 830 (vs samsung 470) on SATA 2 mobo?
