Hello guys I am new to SSD drives
basically my write speed on the 80gb x-25 mainstream is really really slow I ran the ssd benchmark
those are my results
I first thought I had so many virsuses so I formatted my pc and whenever I run couple programs and they take too much write speed my system lags so bad thats it just lags and I have to power it off
I have it in my bios on ahci and I have the matrix drivers too and I just dont know what to do my motherboard is
ASUS P5K PREMIUM

-- EDIT 2
I downloaded matrix drivers from asus p5k premium section WRITE SPEEDS ARE NORMAL! however READ speed is now about 130 MB/s instead of 200-250 MB/s
I will update bios if that does not help any suggestions would be apperciated 😃
EDIT 3 :
After bios Update Read Speeds Are Maximum 140 MB/s any way to boost that?

You can't just read the first post in a thread to know what is going on! You should read other posts by the OP to know all that you need to know to help--even better is reading all the posts in a thread, especially when it's as short as this one.
If you read his last post, you would know he said "whats weaird is that i was getting 250 read before getting the matrix storage drivers"

Well after I did the matrix drivers and updated bios I was getting good write speeds but the read went down
and I do have AHCI enabled in my bios

Go back to msahci driver in AHCI mode and see what you get in AS SSD. I believe you have Windows 7 and with msahci driver TRIM runs automatically. After switching back to msahci driver, you could run the Optimizer once, which is my suggestion. After that, you shouldn't need to run Optimizer again.

What do you mean by going back to AHCI ? I am in AHCI all the time it's set in bios do you mean like change it to IDE go to windows and change it back then in bios to AHCI? Did I understood you correctly? Thanks
Also when I went to matrix software it showed that I have AHCI installed but shouldn't the drive be under the AHCI ?

No, I said "Go back to msahci driver in AHCI mode and see what you get in AS SSD." And I offered more that you should read.
Do you know how to switch back to msahci driver? You need to have the Standard AHCI 1.0 AHCI controller and my guess is you have an Intel controller listed in Device Manager under IDE/ATA ATAPI controllers.
I assumed you had the msahci driver installed at some point because of your registry picture.
