Well, i figered out the problem: AHCI wasn't enabled, and apparently TRIM can't be passed over IDE. Couldn't enable AHCI because the BIOS i had and the SSD didn't like each other. Couldn't update to the newest BIOS because it completely broke my mobo.
So what do i do? I update to the latest BIOS anyway, after wiping the SSD of everything, and resetting EVERYTHING to defaults. Everything runs great now Just had to clean two years worth of gunk outta the system.
On a side note, the best write speeds i'm seeing is about 160MB/s. Not a huge drop, but the drive is starting to slow down a bit. Reads are plenty fine though. I love how everytime i reinstall Windows it takes a percent or two off the drive health.
Good to hear you got it back up to speed.
