  • G.Skill Phoenix III 120GB

    What a deal!
    I just picked up a G.Skill Phoenix III 120GB Solid State Drive FM-25S3-120GBP3
    for $79.99 on CyberMonday on Amazon Lightning Deal.
    No tax and Free shipping to the door.

    This will be my first sysytem build with a SSD as my primary drive.
    I have read a lot SSD's and the Phoenix III is blazing fast.
    I'm looking forward in hearing from other about how their install went.

    Motherboard - GIGABYTE G1.Sniper M3 with Z77 Chipset
    CPU - Intel i5 3570K
    Memory - GSkull 8gig Ripjaws X (2x4)
    Windows 7 Ultimate

    Maybe it wasn't a deal.

    NEW install Phoenix III SSD and slow speed

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have Win7 Ultimate 64bit and installed all the updates for bios , drivers and OS.

    I have a Phoenix III SSD 120 Gig and it is slow.

    Verified that SSD is hooked up to SATA III port and it is active and show ATA600

    Turned off Hybernation
    I have trim on
    I have Prefetch off
    I have Superfetch off
    Defrag off
    Shut down drive indexing

    And this is the speed i'm getting. I have SSD that are Sata II that are faster
    Any suggestions?

      Hi,

      please make sure that your drive is connected to one of the Intel 6GB/s ports, not the Marvell 6GB/s ports, and Also, CrystalDiskMark uses highly incompressible data to test Read/Write speeds. Will recommend with ATTO software to verify advertised speeds.

        Thanks for your reply.
        As a newby to SSD I'm learning fast.
        Yes I figures that out later and used ATTO and here is the latest figures.
