Drive not performing anywhere close to advertised speeds, tested average 149.2MB/s. Advertised speed up to 285MB/s. System is ICH10R chipset (ASUS P6T) with latest bios. AHCI was enabled prior to a clean install of Windows 7. Intel RST 9.6 is installed and boots with OS. SSD firmware version is 2.1. SSD has 40GB unused space available average, and test was performed after cleaning temp folders, recycle bin etc. Disk defrag is disabled. SSD is installed on a SATA II port. My 300GB Velociraptors in RAID-0 had much better sustained read performance than this SSD, which this purchase replaced and was supposed to out perform across the board.
Am I doing something wrong here, or is this SSD defective? Thanks for any input.
