<p>I'm new to SSDs. My BIOS is in RAID mode, which I'm assuming also enables AHCI. My SSD toolbox says I'm optimized and have the latest firmware as of this writing. I've followed all SSD optimizations listed <a href="http://www.tech-forums.net/pc/f128/ssd-tweak-guide-236563/">here</a>. My write performance is slow. What could I be doing wrong?</p>
