Hello folks.
Yesterday i bought a new drive, because it was pain in the ass that everying runs so slooooooowly on pretty high end machine. (not stupidly high end though).Before i bought ssd i've seen some benchmarks and stuff, and I decided to do some benchmarks on my own as well . . . but results were kinda . . . ."wtf?"
Ill illustrate that in detail using screenshots. This is average test result of SSD drive:
Everything seems normal, like SSD should be. Access times are very small with pretty much no significant difference to them, read speeds are stable and very high. Now . . . my corsair 120 GT test results. . . :
Access times are 4times bigger, variation in access times is all over the place (even worse than my old Seagate hdd) and transfer rates of a cheapest possible ssd on the market. CPU usage is also higher for some reason.
Same here. Not only that the "graph" looks extremely unusual, speeds are kinda . . . well . . .i am pretty sure corsair didn't plan for this single drive to have over 3865MB/s transfer rates. They would definitely advertise that on the package ;P. Still, this is not how this benchmark results should look like.
. . . and again. Not that I don't like to have an SSD that copies software at 860MB/s games at 1,5GB/s and ISO files at nearly 2GB/s but this is most definitely wrong to have 4x higher read speeds than should be, and write speeds of a USB 2.0 pendrive.
In daily usage performance seem to be at least 3x. Windows installation was the quickest i have ever seen, system boot speeds are just amazing, everything runs really crazy fast from SSD but benchmark results are worrying me.
I have my drive connected to Intel sata 6g controller on AHCI mode.
I tried to run it from Marvell 6g controller AHCI mode, and most benchmarks were the same with the exception of ATTO benchmark. Graph was all over the place with lots of bumps and drops, even crazier than it is on intel controllers. I am also sure drives are connected properly to correct 6G controllers due to the fact that I am not color blind and I can see what color are sata ports. (and also bios and marvel controller reports that drive is connected on 6g).
Bios/uEFI Settings:
Default+Eco mode + onboard devices:
-Marvell Storage Controller [Disabled]
-JMC Storage Controller [Disabled]
-Realtek HD Audio [Disabled]
-IEE 1394 [Disabled]
-USB 3.0 [Disabled]
/SSD is running from intel controller at the moment so i disabled Marvell and JMC to decrease Boot time because they were displaying some info messages like "no drives connected" during startup.
I don't have ANY usb 3.0 device yet so no need to have it enabled.
I have no idea wtf is wrong with this, maybe someone have an idea?
