My setup:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3
CPU : CORE i5 760 2.80GHz
RAM : 8 GB GSKILL F3-12800CL7D
GPU: MSI|N460GTX Hawk Talon Attack
PSU: CORSAIR|CMPSU-750TX 750W
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 2 TB 7200rpm [backup]; WD Caviar black 1 TB [storage]
SSD :Samsung Evo 840 [OS boot]
OS: Win 7 Ultimate SP1 [transfer not fresh]
Case: Azza Solano 2000
Sequential read/write on the SSD is 284/273, advertised is 540/520.
While my mobo supports SATA 3.0 at 6Gbps, the Samsung EVO software says that SATA 3 is not supported and judging by these speeds, it isn't working. Further, booting seems the same and the Windows rating is exactly the same.
The Samsung magician also lables the SSD as a 'NON OS DISK' idk what that is all about.
I checked,TRIM and ACHI are enabled, and the drive is aligned properly.
I don't know why these performance issues are here, drivers or maybe something else?
