Am I doing something wrong?

Hi, I've never benchmarked my SSD until now. I've always thought it was doing really well (only compared to using a HDD)

Ive got a Kingston V300 60GB just for my OS and here is the benchmark that seems pathetic compared to others of this SSD;

Im running windows 8.1 all updated, CPU is an E8500 and mobo is an asrock g31m-s

Any suggestions?

Get a new motherboard with Sata 3 ?

that looks Like top whack for Sata 2 ?

I wouldn't even worry how long does windows 8.1 take to boot <10s then its fine. Isnt it ?

School boy error, never even thought of Sata 2...

Yeah about 11 seconds from cold boot.
