More than likely there is nothing you can do, apart from hassle ASUS and look for driver/ bios/ firmware updates. Changing the block size will not help. Whilst it is no doubt annoying that your ssd is not working optimally the difference is not something you will really notice outside of a benchmark.

thanks redux. i booted in safe mode and ran it again and the 4k went twice as good. 20/50

so it must be a driver thing

at least my ssd is working ok

what if the allocation units are offset. could this cause this latency?

if so and in general anyway, how do i completley wipe the ssd + recovery partition in order to set the alignment perfect on a fresh install. last fresh install i did the alignment is a liiiitle off.

thanks

Just a quick sanity check:

Intel does not make a 60GB X-25M G2. I assume you meant to type 80GB -- correct?
