ssd 335 slow

[apreb1]

Hello,

I recently installed intel's ssd 355 series and I'm very disappointed with its performance. I've read several reviews of this SSD and it was supposed to perform a lot faster. Here are the benchmark results I did :

ASSSD was writing at 0.35 average when it reached 4K, so I stopped it there as it would take over 40 mins to finish.

What I've done so far :

-I got it installed on sata III port and I verified that the link speed is 6 gb/s.

-Turned off c-state an all other proc-related power saving options.

-Verified that AHCI is enabled both in windows and in BIOS.

-Installed Intels SSD Toolbox, ran diagnostics, optimized with all recommendations (trim etc.).

-installed intel storage controller drivers

Here's my spec :

DELL precission t5600

Dual Xeons E5 2630

quadro k4000

64 gb ecc ram

intel C600 series chipset

etc. etc.

The main issue I got is that I'm comparing performance of app launching speed and windows 7 boot times of Dell T5600 with intels 335 ssd and a 2 year old pc (i7 2600k, 16 gb ram, muschkin Chronos ssd on sata II) and i7 is twice as fast as t5600 when it comes to boot speed and application launch speed, which is unacceptable, considering it's a slower system in every aspect and the ssd is running on 3 GB/s port + t5600 was just freshly installed and i7 pc has got all kinds of crap on it already.

I would really appreciate your help.

Just in case you may try a BIOS update for your system and check if your Intel® SSD has the latest firmware.

However, for compatibility purposes we recommend asking the system manufacturer for a list of validated SSDs. Some SATA controller chipsets may not provide TRIM to the drive.

BIOS and firmware are running on latest version. Chipset is INTEL C600 with integrated intel controller, so I'm assuming the compatibility should be good.

I've contacted DELL as well. They're looking into it.
