Vertex 2E SSD Benchmarks before and after installing IRST driver

I thought you guys may be interested to know my speed before and after the IRST driver. Its not much of a gain at all but every extra mb helps I guess, plus it gets rid of the quick removal thing in the taskbar. Rest of system in sig

Before

After

So Im prob better off sticking with the 9.6s then.

Also apparently its not a good idea to keep running benchmarks that heavily writes to the drive cos this puts it in recovery mode, by slowing the ssd up while it recovers. If this happens it takes about 5 days of normal use to recover the drive and regain the speed. you might be able to speed up the process up by unplugging the data cable but leave it powered..... Intelligent hey? :cool:

I think its only if you keep on running the benchies loads of times it buggers the sdd up a bit, but the odd 1 or 2 every few weeks is fine.

But if you use "hd tune" I think you can use that as meny times as you want, cos I dont think it writes to the drive.?
