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?

What I said was "I am fairly certain TRIM does not work in a Virtualized environment--and that quite possibly is your problem."

If TRIM isn't working, the speed is affected.

Can anyone confirm if TRIM should be working with a Server 2008 R2 Raid0 install? At the moment the SSD Toolbox is showing 'No Partition' and as such can't do anything...

Ideas?

If your raid controller supports trim, it will trim the array, otherwise you lose it.
