Slow SSD.

[noisyboy]

Hi guys, I've done some googling and also searched this site, but I can't seem to resolve this issue. In multibeast I selected TRIM Enabler, which didn't seem to do anything, and 3rd party drive support. Here's my speed test results:

My set-up is as follows:

GA-Z77-UD5H
3570k i5
OCZ 60GB SSD Agility 3

I have the SSD plugged into the white SATA Port (the intel one, I think that is). I also have two SSATA II drives plugged in above that in the grey ports. I have two IDE drives with IDE>SATA converters in the two bottom black SATA ports.

Any ideas on what I can do to get the speed this guy gets?

I'm not even sure what an SSD is supposed to get.

Well, the youtube vid in the OP shows somebody getting 250-300mb. Others I've seen are nearer 500mb. Mine is at 60mb. Can't be right.

I installed Windows and I'm getting around 475mb for each read and write. I'd love some help here, it's robbing me of speed!

Try to use AJA System Test... http://www.aja.com/ajashare/ajasoftware/AJA_SystemTest_Mac.zip

Here is mine on 2 x Intel 330 60GB RAID0

Thanks for the reply. AJA worked well on Windows, but now I've installed 10.8, it won't allow me to do it from the OS drive.

Make sure your OS drive permission is correct. As you see I ran AJA on my OSX drive with no problem. To repair permission normally I use Kext Wizard.

Yeah, it's strange. No matter what I do, I just can't get it to work on my OS drive.

Is there any other way I can test the speed of this thing, that doesn't rely on software?

Maybe the problem is in bios. I don't know, but it's driving me a little stir-crazy.

Just tried my vertex 3 120gig in lion 10.7.4 and got 150write and 430 read

I am getting the same crumby results. I get 135 MB/s write and 185 MB/s read. My config is:

GA-Z77MX-D3H
i5-3750k
OCZ Agility 3 120 GB

I have the newest TRIM installed and all my hard drives are recognized as internal. I did get drive permission errors, but then I repaired the drive permissions and that went away. I am able to read my older Kingston Sata II 64 GB SSD at 225 and write at 175. That is an NTFS partition.
