hi sam350,
could you also test atto and AS-ssd diskmark and post the performance result.
Your PC info. about hardware and OS is also important. I'll need this info. that i could help to verify it.

Hi sam350
Try ATTO Disk Benchmark v2.46

My best regards

[sam350]

ok system is:
cpu:i7 920@4.2ghz
Motherboard: gigabyte x58 extreme
Hdd: g.skill phonex 100G
Hdd2: WD 1T
Gpu: gtx295 quad sli
power: 1150W aptiva warlock

ok have tried the other benchamerks on your site.....

ATTO benchmark gives results very very close to the benchamrks on your website which is good
Crystal mark is giving same low write speeds
and HD tune pro 4.01 wont let me do write speed test says : please remove all partitions before testing .......but i have no partitions that i know of......93G hdd space listed from my computer....
how can i check this and further help plzz

Wich is Your oprating system? Windows 7?
Delete all partitions and create it again. Format and intall again.
My best regards

[sam350]

i am using windows 7....deleted all partitions and re-installed windows having the same results.....did get fast write speeds when i first installed the ssd the first time but only for about 10min..... is there any way to get rid of garbage collection?

Returns the ssd your seller. Are You try to put ACHI in Your BIOS?

My best regards

[sam350]

yes enabled achi in bios prior to installing windows.... maybe i shall try to re-format ssd and go from there have tried re-installing windows..... format ssd from bios?? or ....coz windows is on that atm...or just erase windows 7 with a fresh copy again

[sam350]

yes enabled ACHI in bios prior to installing a fresh copy of windows 7... any other tips or hits or special ways of formatting?? iv installed windows twice now just using windows 76 install options to format ssd then re install

[Ranxerox]

No format from the BIOS because it could damage the SSD. Update your Mother board BIOS and try again. Use a fresh install.

My best regards

hello, sam350
sorry for not replying immediately, i'm trying to reproduce your situation.
it seem that your disk not aligned.
could you try to install your phoenix SSD as a secondary disk and create partion under windows 7 or follow here to create partition then test it.
let me know the result

[Ranxerox]

i have my SSD like Slave

[sam350]

hello tried using diskpart to re-align disk..... says this when trying to follow instructions from web site.... in command prompt trying to run diskpart.....

microsoft diskpart version 5.1.3553
on computer:sam
