![]() ![]() ![]() Disk Management showed the SSD as "offline" without a drive letter. I tried trick0502's idea of booting off the original HDD with the SDD as a secondary drive. Moved SSD to a different computer, set as a secondary drive. Tried different SATA ports on the motherboard. I have tried a few more tests based on everyone's replies. Maybe Santa will bring me something with SATA3 ports. But right now I am most concerned with the writes and small writes. I realize the motherboard only has SATA2 3gb ports, and limits max drive performance to ~300mb/sec. And without write-caching, there is some serious performance problem with this SSD.Īsus P8H61-M, i5-2400, 8gb DDR3, Windows 7 Pro 64bit SP1, Samsung EVO 850 500gb. But, I feel that the only valid way to benchmark a drive is with caching turned off. The windows write caching was turned off. I finally found a setting that improved the performance. Set windows SSD optimizations, disable defrag, restore points, indexing, etc. ![]() Updated Intel storage drivers to newest, ver 11. Partitions are 1meg aligned, with 10% over-provision. I have never seen benchmarks this slow for SSD. I upgraded 3 weeks ago, did some benchmarks and found the SSD is extremely slow for writes, especially small writes. I have a computer that we recently upgraded the hard drive to a Samsung 850 EVO 500gb SSD.
