Yea I get higher writes on my X25-M G2.

Isnt that the new Sandforce controller?

Sounds like you need to RMA.

AS SSD uses non compressible data for the benchmark, therefore SandForce can't gain an advantage from its DuraWrite technology.

The claimed speeds for this drive are from ATTO. Before you RMA drive, check the speeds with the ATTO benchmark.

ATTO 2.46, I guess it did better in this one

Pretty much, on the money.

You can get the new crystal 3.0 as well and smply change the test method to 0Fill which will then imitate the manufacturers listed specs...
