What would you guys recommend to check SSD read write speed? I just installed a new Corsair gt 90g. I want to make sure its operating at the speed it should.
 
It depends on what they use for their specs. I just got a Mushkin Cosmos SSD a little while back amd at first I used crystal disk mark to test it and the speeds were way off. When I check with the guys on the Mushkin forums they said they use atto disk utility so I tried that one and it was dead on with the advertised specs.
 
Well its not running running as it should.. Advertised read 555 write 505 any ideas?

I couldn't find the setting in my bios so I assumed it would do so on it's own..
 
Ok now I have a new prob I read it needed to be in ahci and since I found it now windows wont boot.
 
Thanks now it will boot but it's still not up to speed. It is 300 write 400 read. There was many things I could change to ahci in my bios. One odd thing is windows didn't Recognize anything nor did it load drivers.
 
Ok I have it now some how I didn't save the setting in bios. I wonder if this will affect my ide hd when I use it for storage.
 
You are my savior I had heard that you have to reformat if you mess up.

Thank you very much

Ok another question having both disk using atto as a bench has slowed my write speed bad is there a fix or is it taking both the HDd and ssd into account?
 
Benching SSD's repeatedly will slow them down, yes. Give it a day or so for TRIM and GC to work and it should return back to normal.
 
I fixed it by moving the hdd off of the sata 3 port. I also solved the removable disk issue. It was a bios setting I thought I needed to enable on my board for hotswap.
