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?

Oh, you were referring to the Sequential write speed. Run the Optimizer and let's see what happens.

Do you have System Restore on? Disk Defragmenter turned off for your SSD?

Turned off system restore now sequential write speed is at 29 MB/s 😮
Do you think this could be due to my motherboard being 2 years or even 3 I think.
Model is asus p5k premium
I am upgrading really soon to ddr3 ram new notherboard and of course i7 processor.
That's what I think right now it's the motherboard but that's just me , even if it is I wouldnt mind waiting with those random write speeds until I get new mobo

My motherboard is a few years old, 2 or 3 I guess, a Gigabyte EX38-DS4. So yours being 2 or 3 years old doesn't seem like it should be an issue. Have you deleted the System Restore points accumulated so far? I think it may keep one that you can't delete, but you can try getting rid of the others and see if that makes any difference.
You should have some kind of backup procedure going in case something goes wrong. I am going out for a few hours, just to let you know. Meanwhile, have you checked to see if Disk Defragmenter is turned off for your SSD? And have you tried running the Optimizer again for TRIM?

Defragment is off
System Restore is off
I ran toolbox "Intel Managment Tools"
then click "RUN"
I guess I did everything...
