SSD performance question

[BUTCH1]

Hi all, I recently upgraded to a Kingston Hyper-X 120GB SSD, when I run Crystaldiskmark my scores look really slow, my MB (gigabyte 775) does not have an option for ACHI in the BIOS, I'm wondering if that's an issue. The scores were:
Seq read -233 write-176.8
512K-224 write-175.8
4K-25 write-80
4K-23 write-102
This drive is rated for over 500,
Any help or input would be greatly appreciated..

You ask good questions. SSD matters are now discussed in the Memory and Storage Forum. I am moving your thread.

Looks like you have your SSD connected to a SATA 2.0

those scores are right.

With sata 3.0 you will get double that........

Thanks, I really should upgrade out of 775 but it still works well enough, the Win 7 install shows how old XP has finally gotten..
