Hey all,

Since upgrading to Windows8 i get the following benchmarks results, with the OS SSD being on the left.

As you can see my 4K-64Thrd results are really low on the OS SSD, does anybody know why?

I use Crucial M4 SSD's, both are identical 128gb drives.

I'm on an Asrock Extreme4 Gen3 board.

On windows7 im sure my results were both near the higher result...

Thanks!

might just be a driver issue, as board drivers would be different etc

both win 7 and win 8 64bit?

both latest m/b drivers?

might need some better win 8 driver when released, or bios update etc

the machine was doing something so the programs access was limited?

Id rerun it a few times (and do some reboots and all available updates)
 
ive rebooted and ran it loads of times and the 4K-64Thrd values just wont get better on the OS drive - i've tried it with the intel RST drivers and the default drivers for mobo and neither fix it - i'll try updating anything i can see zak, but i think i already have with the exception of the BIOS
 
as with all sdd, they get faster the more boots they have, might still be in learning mode etc i'd run it like above says a few more time, but maybe after everything has settled down, i ran mine after a week of using it, as it wasn't too good from the start, better now mind you.

eg ReadyCache / ExpressCache etc, first few boots seem to get better and quicker etc

Can someone explain what 1024 K-OK refers to, as mine says 103424 K-OK .

This may sound too simple, but it's actually because the original best alignment was 1024 K, which goes into 103424 K exactly 101 times.

I don't know if the 1024 K is antiquated or not, but maybe it's not because SSD still says that a 1024 K alignment is ok.

Whether a solid state drive is properly aligned or not, one should never see problems. It's just that a proper alignment helps get the best performance that the solid state drive can offer.

You are fine. It is aligned with a 1024 offset. So you have 1MB before the 100MB system reserve partition.
