Stutters from the second SSD device on a windows 7 setup

I have an annoying stutter when using programs from my second SSD.

I have one SSD (corsair force 3 120 Gb) with my OS windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on and another (corsair force 3 120 Gb) with installed programs on. I have both SSD attached to the intel SATA 6Gb ports (gray ports) on the motherboard.
They are not in a RAID.

ATTO benchmark tests looks fine for both the SSD's.

Textures (in games) loading 1 or a fraction of a second slower then it should etc. Naturaly I wouldnt notice this kind of stutter in any other program like browsing or media editing, typing etc so I can't say for sure that the first SSD with the OS doesnt suffer from the same stutter.


When I run the same programs from a regular old HDD (the third device) hooked up to one of the intel SATA 3 Gb/s ports I dont have this stutter or slower read/write.

I have read about alignment things for more partions on a SSD setup and both SSD's are aligned (partition offset is divisible by 4096). I can't say anything about the NAND size for my SSD's since I don't know these for the corsair force 3 120 Gb. I can't find these numbers for this corsair SSD.

The OS SSD have 2 partitions
Partition Starting Offset of 1 048 576 bytes for the first partition
Partition Starting Offset of 105 906 176 bytes for the second partition

The second SSD have 1 partition
Partition Starting Offset of 1 048 576 bytes for its 1 and only partition


What could be behind this stutter from the second SSD?

Computor is a brand new fresh build and I havent been using the second SSD so much only two different games, and Ive noticed it in both games that texture loads slower on this device then a regular HDD.

you tried filling a support ticket? could that be a firmware issue?

I'd rape the manufacturer as hard as I could if I were in your shoes.
