Well glad you fixed the problem - but you will get even more performance if you run the SSD in AHCI mode, rather than IDE

Assuming of course you have the OS installed on it.

Thats the thing i have it enabled after fixing the registry from a post on the internet but it looks like it ain't done right

Best bet is to set ACHI mode in bios and do a fresh install, assuming your using it as a boot drive

there is not always that much advantage in switching performance wise, some see an increase and some do not it seems, AHCI does enable you to use NCQ and Hot swapping though.

Before you re-install, secure erase the drive using HDDErase 3.3 to make sure it's back to the factory stated spec.
