Hi all,

Here I come again for some wise wisdom from all of you. Couple of days ago I have upgraded from a verbatim 120GB Sata II drive to OCZ Agility 3 120GB Sata III. I've done a fresh install of Windows 7, sata is set AHCI, latest drivers for mobo installed, newest bios flashed, ssd already has the newest firmware, trim is enabled. I get slow speeds in Crystal Disk Bench and As SSD, ATTO is showing ok speeds, also it takes my system to boot 53sec, and I belive this is a bit high as there is no start up programs really. I've opened a ticket with OCZ support but before they get back to me I've wanted to see if anyone has any ideas to what can be causing this. Please find attached few images that might help .. Thanks in advance like always :)

Well I know for a fact with AS it won't give the full speed due to the nature of how the OCZ drive works, but even then that seems unusually low.

Perhaps maybe uninstall Intel RST, so it uses Microsoft's AHCI drivers instead of Intel's, and see if that helps.
 
Hi,

After changing the driver to Microsoft one speeds are slightly slower and boot up time is still the same, any other ideas ?
 
Those scores are perfectly normal for your ssd. The type of memory used with the agility 3 (and many other ssd's) isn't great at incompressible data such as AS SSD.

The spec sheet for your ssd says the speeds in AS SSD should be 195mb/s read and 130mb/s write so its bang on.

If your windows boot is that slow then there must be some program causing it, try disable them one by one to find the culprit.

Also, don't run benchmarks excessively. 600gb writes in 34 hours usage is a lot :-D

Thanks for the reply. I've checked the spec sheet and ur right, speeds look ok now compared to those done by OCZ. Will try to disable everything to see what is slowing my boot time.
