New X25-M G2 only reading at 123 MB/s

[idata]

Just got my second X25-M and am surprised to see this sample only reads at 123 MB/s (model SSDSA2M080G2GN, firmware 2CV102G9). Writes are normal at ~ 70 MB/s. System is 2008 Mac Pro, 10.6.2. My first sample reads at >250 MB/s in the same system so I'm assuming the issue is with the X25-M, not the system.

Any advice?

Thanks!

I have an old MacBookPro 2,2 (late 2006). I've installed my new G2 160GB. Here is my xbench result. Is the 1.5GHz limit affecting me or there is a problem with the drive?

2006 model is 1.5, not 3.0, so the numbers you are getting look right.
