noted    welcome to the club!

your score still very high....i am using Corsair Force 3 120GB Sata 3 on Sata 2 port but only managed to get 167MB read and 100MB write. I got a few question want to ask expert here as below:

a) Will it because my mobo dont support ACHI so the speed is so slow?
b) Any effect by using it for dual OS booting? Using it with 3 partitions : OSX Lion 1| Lion 2| Win7
c) besides, TRIM is enabled inside Win 7. This partition is about 60GB. But inside OSX cant support TRIM. In this situation, TRIM is covered 60GB under Win 7 or is covered whole SSD?

Guys,would something like a Crucial M4 feel faster in real life situations compared to a Intel G2 ?
I was wondering whether the speed is noticeable or not since the M4 is about 2 times faster than the G2 in Crystaldiskmark

I have a Liteon too on post #132.
For my SATA II score.

As your force 3 will only run on ide mode not even sata 1 speed.Currently running force GT 90GB & 120GB on sata 2 board with 280MB read and 272MB write,that's the max speed a sata 2 ssd can get.TRIM is enable only when you set it on win 7(even without achi),not the entire ssd.

Ps:Ts,pls look for post #77(page 4) to be include in the list.

thanks for your info. mind to tell me why my SSD only running on IDE mode? is it because of motherboard limitation?

I am using budget mobo below:

update your mobo chipset driver aka INF.
G41 mobo supports IDE only but won't be that far behind AHCI.
i'd say the mobo as well as the CPU are limiting the speed.

SSD in IDE vs AHCI

kinda still kinda waste under utilized so much more.  

It's ok. The SSD is still playing its role to be A LOT faster than any conventional HDD. Access/seek time under 1ms is more important & noticeable during apps loading.

Houston, we have a problem.

Here's the story.
I did a fresh OS install on THIS M17X in the SSD.
Once installed, without any setting, straight away I CrystalDiskMark and get this.

After that I checked on bios and I realized it is on RAID mode instead of AHCI.
Immediately I changed it and did another fresh install.
And after installed all the drivers, I did the optimization thingy on 1st post, and this is what I get.

Drop performance after optimized?
Enlighten me.

The optimization steps sometimes can hurt the performance.
I'm not sure which step is the culprit may be u could sort it out one by one with restore point set or revert to default settings.

I don't have overwhelmed PC knowledge, so some settings I just blindly follow only.
What setting are you using?

i followed exactly all the steps from the Optimization Guide; except for the pagefile in which i needed it for some games ie. Dirt3 etc...
then the SSD gives lower score than before optimization.
