it's normal..windows will create a system reserved partition for windows function properly
it's not recommended to delete the partition..elsewhere u might encounter certain problem in future....

Have you update to the latest Intel AHCI driver? what is your sata speed? seem like sata2. also install Intel RST and the provided Intel SSD Optimization software.

just update latest driver.. it's alltogether with the same driver 3.1.0... screen shots as below.. slight improvement.. but not as i expected.. tongue.gif

Please use the ATTO benchmark before following soultaker's advice. The benchmark results there should be similar to the paper specs.

Strange, ATTO shouldn't cause your Windows to hang.

Okay, as an alternative, try using CrystalDiskMark, link on the first post. But before you run the benchmark, click on File > Test Data and choose either "All 0x00 (0 Fill)" or "All 0x01 (1 Fill)". SandForce-based SSDs, like the Intel 330 or 520, does not like random data, which is why the performance seems to be low.

tried.. snapshot as below.. stange.. y the reading from as ssd diff..?? is it not reliable..?? hmm.gif

Hi guys, noob in SSD and a 2 hour new user for M4.
Benchmark as below:
[attachmentid=3127175]
which i believe is a normal as per spec of M4.

Problem is, i experience 2 times screen freeze when Diabloing. (In 2 hours times)
Screen freeze for roughly 5 sec then back to normal.

I worry that i have not fine tune the SSD for optimal performance.

What else i need to look for on this mystery issue?

almost same as me.. freeze when i do multitasking such as installing game and watch u-tube at the same time...
i'm using HD4670.. is it could be the source..?? rolleyes.gif
