Do Overclockers sell the Kingston 40GB SSDNow drive? Nice score Davy!

DavyBoy · 26 Dec 2009 at 15:27

Thanks mate, though tbh, I don't really know what I'm looking at with these scores...

I purchased these drives elsewhere for £75 each, which is a great price for an SSD imo.

I'm extremely happy with my purchase tbh (well my xmas present!!!

), really glad that I decided to get these instead of another GTX280.

My SSD is in for repair, getting all green seeing all these scores being reminded of what I'm missing.

Can't wait to get some of those Davy

DavyBoy · 27 Dec 2009 at 22:02

I'm happy enough with them, although the scores I get with this tool now are quite a bit less than the one I posted here, infact some of the writes have halved... :confused:

Surely they wouldn't degrade this quickly?

It's not as if I've been writing any large files to them neither..

I'm going to wipe them completely, and then do a clean install of Win7 to see if that makes any difference.

4 x Kingston SSDNow! 40Gb in RAID 0
Stock speed i920 with 6Gb RAM Intel ICH10R Controller

I have noticed there can be quite marked variations in the performance - these 3 runs were performed one after the other and although the sequential read is quite consistent the overall scores aren't.

The slow write of the Kingston really drags the overall scores down as well.

Does this seem a little slow to everyone?

G.Skill Falcon 64Gb on FW1571, Windows 7, and IDE mode (Sata doesnt improve results)

A couple of Falcom 128GB benches Here and Here...doesn't seem that far off...is write caching enabled in Device Manager?

Terrier_Jimlad · 30 Jan 2010 at 00:00

Yes it's enabled ... I think the 128GB has better r/w anyway

RichIbizaSport · 30 Jan 2010 at 10:46

he's my brand new ocz vertex 60GB

Fresh install of windows 7 64bit. Using ide mode as i couldn't find the right drivers for ahci

. Slightly disappointed in the write speed

My vertex 60Gb just got in the promo

Cheers for posting that, it seems that mine is probably set up correctly and the write speeds are normal

You should have installed it in ACHI mode, win 7 has default drivers that work perfectly, you'd also get trim support. I think you can edit the registry then switch to ACHI though.

Not quite the case here I'm afraid. I attempted to install win 7 when the drive was set to AHCI but it produced an error message saying that it couldn't be used (can't remember exactly why), tried in both the ICH9R and Gigabytes own sockets. Looked for sata drivers prior to win 7 install but none of them worked.

As for enabling AHCI after win 7 is installed, I've done the reg trick, but it still crashes on windows load. The only time I did get it to work on AHCI was with some strange Gigabyte RAID drivers (and the reg trick) - but my benchmark speeds dropped by about 20 mb/s

4 x OCZ Vertex 30gb : Raid 0 Striped @ 128 with partition aligned to 128k.

Think the ICH10 chipset is bottlenecking them a bit but got some more tweeking to do. If I cannot get the full speed out of the ICH10 then ill get a hardware raid card that can handle the bandwidth.

Yowsers, that's ridiculously fast. Out of interested though, do you find it any faster in the real world for everyday computing, than say a single ssd? Or are you using programs that specifically need it?

Yes that the Joys of fragmentation and lack of Trim currently with raid 0.

No he's better off in non-member raid.

Hell yes

Windows 7 startup / shutdown incredibly fast. Application starting instant. Handling of large photoshop images fast and clean. Generally there seems to be no lag between anything

heres mine in raid 0 2 x intel 80g SSD
