Finally got my SSD installed, good speeds?

Crucial M4 128GB, Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Not sure what else I need to do to make sure I'm getting the most out of it other than making sure AHCI is enabled

Look fine... looks like you're on SATA II so sequentials are limited to under 300MB/s. A much higher 64 thread 4k score over a single 4k prove NCQ (and more likely ACHI) is working. Read access times is top-dog at under .1ms... a strength of the M4. I've seen as low as <.070ms, but times that low begin depend on your system.

Although Win7 probably has already done it, type 'disk defragment.' Make sure your SSD is not scheduled for defragments. Feel free to set the disk defragment service to manual if you don't have a HDD in the system. That's about it.

thanks razel.. I thought the M4 was SATA3? I plugged it into the Sata 6gb/s slot on my motherboard
