Hi all,

Decided to order a OCZ vertex 2 50gb SSD drive as it looked like a nice speed upgrade form my Crucial 64gb M225 drive, however I am getting nowhere near the rated speeds for this drive. :mad:



I am running in AHCI mode and have the latest Intel and Microsoft drivers installed, I have write cashing enabled and drive indexing disabled.

Not sure if there is anything else that I do to improve the speed of this drive ?

Thanks

I didn't expect to get the as high as the rated specs for the drive but at least somewhere near. The write speeds are only 1/3 of the rated specs, surely that isn't right ?

It was just the As bench running, this is also on a clean install of windows as well, I'll try a shorter cable and see how i get on, Thanks

The drive is certainly feels faster on installs than my old Crucial drive, but I to wish manufactures would be honest about the specs.

Yes the drive can sometimes read and write somewhere near the specs but only under certain circumstances.

I was going to get antoher one for raid 0 further down the line but not to sure now.
 
No I don't think TRIM is supported but I thought the Garbage Collection was, which I thought was pretty musk the same thing, could be wrong though ?

I'll wait for some benches of these in RAID before I take the plunge I think.
