Crucial M4 128GB SATAII Performance

When I hooked up my M4 I put it into a SATA II port by mistake (I was trying to avoid taking out my GPU and missed the SATA IIIs behind it), I realised my mistake after and switched it to a SATA III. I can honestly say I can't tell any difference between the two.

It does benchmark faster, but in real-world application it makes no difference.

I couldn't notice a difference either, but its nice to get the full performance of the drive!
 
I had mine on SATA2 for a few months, didn't keep any benchmarks

Here's the benchmark on my i5 system (SATA3)

Same here.

There is a delay while the BIOS searches for AHCI devices. Also, the Windows logo animation runs for a little longer than on other PCs that I`ve installed SSDs into (although my own machine has an Intel X-25 80gb, and the machines I`ve bult have had Crucial M4's). I think it's something to do with the AMD Sata drivers.

Having said that, I'm at the desktop within about 30 seconds of hitting the power button, which is way better than if I still used a hard drive.
