SSD benchmarks. Are these good?

[Traxan]

I'm a little concerned my SSD isn't configured properly. AHCI is on, and I use TRIM. Windows knows it's an SSD. Still, these numbers dont really jive with other benchmarks.

It looks close to its 3Gbps specs, are you sure its on the 6Gbps port?

It wasn't. But I switched to the SATA III port and it's no better. Same benchmarks and I get a "pciide - BAD" error whereas before it recognized AHCI. And yes, I checked BIOS, AHCI is turned on.

I have a Gigabyte P55a-UD3 motherboard. It does have SATA III ports.

What SSD is it and have you installed the OS on the SSD?

Maybe try the intel drivers? Don't they perform better than the microsoft ones now anyways.

Even though your MB has SATA III ports they are not on the Intel chipset and I'm sure performance is worse.

You need to read this article to see what's happening with your drive.

I would put the drive back on an Intel SATAII port and enable write caching in the device manager.

OCZ Agility 3, Windows 7 home 64-bit, with 16GB of memory.

How full is the drive? Asynchronous NAND MLC potentially degrades more quickly when the drive is closer to full.

Drive isn't even half full.

Talked to a friend. The problem lies with using a P55 motherboard. One more reason to move to Sandy Bridge I guess.

OK!

So what's the problem?
