Just bought an intel 330 120gb and run as ssd and the result seems on the lower side. Tried the intel ssd optimizer and got error

Anyone can provide some clues on it?

Result of atto on default settings. Results seems low from 0.5 - 8 range.

From what I know changing to AHCI from ide will only affect your booting drive if your os was installed while in ide mode. other storage drive wont had any differences, at least that what I experienced.

The results are normal. The difference in benchmark results of the AS SSD and ATTO is in how the benchmark is conducted.

The Intel 330 specification specifies 500MB/s read and 450MB/s write.

You might be able to increase performance a little more with firmware/driver updates and optimisations, but using as-is is fine.

Well the intel optimization is a no go for my case since it just wont run without any error as showed in earlier screenshot. Firmware wise it should be the latest as it reported as the latest in the intel ssd toolbox 3.1.1. Any other optimization tools to recommend?

None comes to mind. If you have already went through the optimisation guide in the first post, there isn't much left to do.
Didnt actually read any of those optimization guides in the 1st post, I just make sure its on ahci mode, trim is enable and had the latest chipset drivers installed. Since its a brand new ssd, I dont think secure erase will be required in the case right

Thanks. Is it worth it to go for Intel 520 120GB at RM400, compare to Intel 335 120GB at RM290?

If you think that the extra 2 years warranty is very important, then just go for the 520 then. I assume if even the 330 only able to last for 3 years, and by that time, ssd should be dirt cheap with much larger capacity which you wont even bother much looking at 120gb anymore.
