New Kingston SSD. HDTune results and boot issues...

[qwertyaas]

Just set up my Kingston HyperX 3k 120gb. Disabled all extras and what not. The drive is properly aligned [4096]. ACHI mode.

How does the HD Tune results look (this is my primary drive).

Oddly I had a lot of issues setting it up. Boot errors, BSOD, settings reset. Yet no errors. Note it's running fine it seems.

The results are correct for your SSD. No worries just enjoy it.

Mine is aligned 512k ,,,,,, cuz I had no choice, and it really doesnt matter if anything it might be faster..

HD Tune doesn’t give accurate sequential for SSDs (too low); it’s better to use something like Crystal.

For sequential, Crystal is giving 405.5 read and 172.2 write.
For 512k, it's 373.3 read and 171 write.

Read is a bit lower than review but that's also a drive that probably isn't being used as an OS drive and just for benching.

I wonder how fast it was in the beginning when you first got it ? Please post a shot of Crystal info. We want to make sure its 100 percent health. thx

Is the Gigabyte P35 in your signature what you are running this in. Apparently it's Intel chipset HDD controller is SATA 3Gbps only. Are you running this off another drive controller? Your MB is capable of RAID, but you didn't mention that you were doing so.

I updated a while ago, forgot to update my sig.

Running a GA-870A-UD3. When upgraded chipset drivers it switched to amd_sata instead of ms_achi. Both has similar speeds. SATA ports are SATA3 and ACHI enabled.
