SSD Installed - Good speed?
I'm new to the SSD world. Picked up a Plextor M3 256gb drive last week. I have attached a screenshot of the speeds from the drive, as reported by AS SSD Benchmark. Are they in the ball park of what they should be? I wanted to make sure there is not a setting in the bios or Windows that I missed, which would make the SSD faster.My setup: - Original i7 930 oc'ed to 3.8 ghz - EVGA X58 SLI MB. AHCI enabled on all SATA channels in the BIOS. - 12 GB of RAM - Win 7 x64 Thanks.

"msachi" from the screenshot is MS built-in ahci driver. You might be able to get better speed by updating the ahci driver (storage driver from the motherboard website) and the SSD firmware (if there is a update).
The motherboard only has SATA 3Gbps ports so it won't show any speed close to SATA 6Gbps (ex. 500MB/s) speed. |

Looks fine for a SATA II system. It would be faster if hooked up through SATA III, of course.

That i7 system you have is still pretty high end, even for a gaming machine (minus the video card). Would not be worth the money to upgrade to Ivy Bridge and SATA 3. If anything, all you need to do is overclock that i7 you have to 3.8 ghz or more.

I have overclock my i7 to 3.4 ghz. It was difficult to OC it. I will wait after Ivy Bridge. My SATA3 speed is half OK right? I wish it is SATA6. |

Seems inline with my SSD speeds on SATA II, which people in this thread have said look good for SATA II. I seriously doubt you would notice any real world difference from your current setup and an SATA III setup.

OP, the big speed jump/performance jump from standard hard drive to SSD isn't in sequential read/writes, it's all from random read/writes.
