X25-M G2 80GB benchmarks look good?

just got a x25-m g2 drive and first thing was to update firmware then installed the os.

i've read that intel drivers dont support trim yet so i stuck with windows 7 ahci drivers (x64)

i went around google and compared my benchmarks and some of mines seem off..

i have tried ssd toolbox, as-cleaner. and still the score turns out around 310-330 on AS SSD

does anyone have any suggestions to improve them, particularly the 4k write is about half of everyone else's that I saw

or do these look good (that I wont notice)?

Thanks!

Your sequential read/write numbers look correct. There are some performance benefits on the 160GB drives vs the 80GB drives. So keep that in mind for comparison purposes.

I'd say those numbers are not so good. The access times seem to be a problem. Have you disabled write cache? If so enable it and you should; see an improvement. Below is a comparison from my 80GB G2.

I have enabled it, anything else I should check?

Could it be faulty?

I only change the following from a standard Win 7 install:

Turn off degrag

Turn off system restore: Free up space and make trim run a lot faster. (I use Win 7 disk image for back up)

Turn off hibernate: Free up space

Turn off superfetch

What mobo are you using? Nvidia and AMD based boards don't seem to be as good as Intel based boards when it comes to ssd.
