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?

Let me see picture or links to pictures each time you use AS SSD to test. So, let me see AS SSD result with write-caching enabled. Also, let me see what you have in Device Manager with IDE/ATA ATAPI controllers expanded. And, include a picture of what is listed in Device Manager under Disk drives, and what is shown under Disk Management (right-click My Computer>Manage>Disk Management).

You don't need any new storage drivers. Just run HDDErase 3.3 before you install Windows and enjoy.

There is no need to use HDDErase with an SSD that has TRIM firmware installed--a simple quick format does the trick.

how the hell did this get fixed by itself? I was getting 3 MB/s max.. with msahci
tell me how these results look?
EDIT ::
Now just ran it again and I thought this got fixed on another test write is 40 MB/s not 70 :// will post picture in couple minutes

I am not sure what is going on with your results, but that other picture looks good!
Test results do vary a bit, so give it another try and see what happens. You should be getting at least 40 MB/s
Run the Optimizer again and let's see what happens.
