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?

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:

yes i did all the tips about SSD and optimization. ACHI inside my WIndows 7 is on but no effect due to my mobo don't have ACHI features.
now just wonder why my SSD is running at ATA speed. hmm.gif

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

yup. updated to latest INF still the same..... rclxub.gif

at first i thought since it got SATA 2 port sure will have SATA's speed. din't know G41 only support IDE speed on SATA's port. kinda weird biggrin.gif

but still that the best new LGA775 mobo i can buy from the shop since no more mid-high range LGA775 mobo in production anymore.

still kinda waste under utilized so much more. sweat.gif sweat.gif

want to buy a second budget SSD for another OS. Looking for 60GB Sata 2 with price under RM300. does Kingston v100 64GB a good choice?

Not the fastest drive around, but at great value.
WEI score of 6.9. A little lower than other SSDs.

no need fastest since my mobo cant go so fast. rclxms.gif ......as long as can get back 170mb/100mb speed of my Force 3 already happy tongue.gif

is it reliable? any other SSD recommended around that price range?
