Sorry for the random post, i'm not very knowledgable on SSD's

Are these read/writes what i should be expecting from my SSD? They seem to fluctuate lower sometimes but the random read and write is terribly low? If i go into turbo they go into the thousands but use up nearl 3gb RAM alone.

Anyone got any suggestions? I've optimized it the best i could but i think thats just how it is i guess?

Sugestion 3 - make sure the SSD is connected to an Intel SATA 3 port on the motherboard; not Marvell, ASMedia or whatever else you may have.
 
Which SATA ports are they on your board?

You may have 2x different chipsets.

Also, do you have a lot running in the background? I notice you have action centre and languages running anyway. both can be turned off.

I loaded the stuff up after the test, i did that on just the inital bootup.

It's plugged into my mobos' sata_3-0, the first of the group, before the second line of sata_2's.

Rapid mode sends these random read and writes seemingly into another dimension, at the cost of using nearly 2-3gb of RAM on its own, making just using that mode and skype/steam/chrome with one tab to near 44-50% memory usage.

I run in IDE and not AHCI

This was all on a fresh install and was one of the first tests i did
 
it just fools windows into installing the ahci drivers for you without re installing (it will blue screen otherwise)

it puts a number 0 instead of a 1 in the registry for the sata drivers

used it lots of times without any trouble

I tried this last night now i cannot boot into windows no matter what i set my bios options to!

I am now attempting to repair using an 8.1 cd but so far no joy

cant auto repair so im buggered now..... great!

edit: Phew managed to fix it.... had to boot from 8.1iso into command promt and manually copy the msahci.sys file i had on my windows 7 laptop via memory pen, to the windows\system32\drivers\ folder.... then windows booted like nothing had happened!

It won't boot even switching back to IDE mode?

Have you tried booting in safe mode so you can do a system restore?

How To Access Advanced Startup Options in Windows 8 or 8.1

Edit:

I'm not sure what OS the OP is using (I may have missed it).

The registry fix for Windows 8/8.1 is here. Go to number 2 for the download.

Edit 2:

I see you've fixed it now :)

Yes it seem the real problem is that the msahci.sys file was not there so windows hung on boot... the file you link just changes the registry.... but the file needs to be manually copied there, or at least you need to check if you need it, first :p
