Someone Help SSD

Hi Guys,

Got my SSD a few months back and only just decided to do some tests.

Ive used AS SSD to see what Read/Write speeds im getting but they seem a tad low...

I have an OCZ Agility 3 60GB Drive and on AS SSD it keeps saying PCI IDE BAD but when i switch it to ACHI it blue screens on start up.

Anyone got any ideas?

My mobo is an MSI P67A-G45

I tried updating the firmware but it says "OCZ utility cant update on the primary drive"

Here are the speeds im getting using AS SSD

Anyone have any ideas?

Right ive solved the PCI IDE BAD because i ive changed the value in the registry to 0 then set the SATA Mode to ACHI but still getting around the same speeds :/

Any ideas? (again)

Plugged it into one of the 2 SATA3 ports rather than one of the SATA2 ports?

Also update the Intel Storage drivers.

I will check that tonight, im certain i used a SAAT III port but i could be wrong!

Also how would i do this?

The 2 white ports are SATA III.

For Rapid Storage driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...=Windows 7, 64-bit*&DownloadType=Drivers#help

Updated on the 11th, I need to update mine too as I have the same board!

Ah ok thanks mate!

Ill give it a try tonight and see what happens!

Updated the rapid storage driver and it still had no affect on speed.

I didnt get round to checking the SATA ports it was my Bday and all the family came round! lol

Ill check that tonight, anyone got any other suggestions? It just seems odd and thought id see a bit more speed than what im getting.

I would say check cables tbh! Don't know what else it could be!

Yeh ill give it a test tonight!

This is the cable i used for the SSD, just a question is there ANY difference between SATA II and SATA III cables? Or is the ports that matter....

i have used a SATA III cable if it does make a difference

Thanks for the help btw!
