Vertex 2 Performance

sweetlew · 09-29-10, 10:06 PM

Just wondering if there is anything that I can do to get my initial performance back up on my SSD? I am pretty sure TRIM is set up correctly. I upgraded the firmware as well. The first test is from 7/4 while the latest is from 9/29. In attempts to maximize my speed I somehow managed to go from a SCSI device on the left to an ATA device on the right. I feel I may have done something that I shouldn't have but am at a loss as to how to get back to where I once was. Thanks for any help you all may have.

Specs:
MOBO: EVGA 780i FTW
CPU: C2D e8500
RAM: 4GB

It should be ATA I believe and the problem as I see it so far is that you are in IDE mode and need to be in AHCI mode.

Follow the instructions from the link below and what that score jump back up.

Thanks for the help! However, after a bit of looking I don't believe my mobo supports AHCI mode since its a NVIDIA. Does that sound correct? If that is the case I may be out of luck until I get a new MOBO I guess. What I don't understand is the SCSI/ATA change but that is a different story I guess.

I have no idea but didnt think it was platform dependent. You can only try the instructions I linked.

You dont see those options in your bios to enable it?

I did a search and found this. It might be useful.
