Real slow Corsair Force 3

[malarky13]

Hey guys,

I ran AS SSD and the results are way dissapointing, not at all what I expected. Im in ACHI mode and im on the intel sata 3 port(grey). The board im using is the ASUS p67 Deluxe. Ive only had the drive since christmas was a present from the missus. Does anyone have any suggetions as to why this is running so slow.

If anyone can help or has any suggestions for me to try out I would be well grateful.

Cheers Guys and have a great day

Are you definitely using a sata 3 cable? Do your motherboard and the drive have the latest firmware?

The write speed is low, but the read is almost normal. The speed goes down the more you fill a SSD. Also, try and run the benchmark again without doing anything else on ur pc. Exit unnecessary programs b4 u start it..

Try use ATTO and see if you get 500 read/write

OK so I tried ATTO and have attached a thumbnail and that looks a lot better. I have downloaded SANDRA and tried the SSD benchmark on that and the read was 384 MB. This is very confusing how come the results between the 3 are so different and which if any is the true speed???

Also I have 27.5gb of free space left if that makes a difference.

You can compare your results with these tests: http://www.guru3d.com/article/corsair-force-3-120gb-ssd-review/1

I wouldnt worry to mucth about it, since you got the read right. All the SSD's ive had had a drop in write speed when the SSD is filled with certain amount of data.

Its worth making sure your drivers are up to date as well dude

The ATTO benchmark uses compressible data, which the SandForce controller based SSD's love, the AS benchmark uses incompressible data which the SandForce SSD's aren't as good with.
