SSD speeds/settings etc

[ShiWarrior]

Thanks to Wazza, got it all installed

found a link on here somewhere that helps to speed things up a bit, but I noticed RAPID mode seems to work the best

I have a Samsung EVO 120Gb, running on SATA 2

Before I put RAPID on, I timed the boot, and it took just over 2 minutes to get into windows
the first 40 seconds was the bios alone

then I put it on...


time to boot went down to 30 secs overall, the bios was done in just 15 seconds !

I took the as ssd screenie and I got this :

seems to good?

when I first got the drive, I was getting around a TOTAL score of 617

speeds look fine,still should be faster booting in non rapid mode though? idk why its slow it shouldn't be

 

[ShiWarrior]

ill turn it off and try it again

I don't use rapid mode, as my laptop only has 3gb of ram but I'll run the normal benchmark for you now...

30 seconds is how long it takes my £25 7200rpm hdd to boot windows too.
