Well, it looks like the Benchmarking thread has gone the way of Windows 8, and I'm curious to see what sort of scores others are getting with their SSDs. I tested mine again tonight with AS SSD
http://alex-is.de/PH...4&download_id=9
and attached is an image of my scores.

coastie, if you're out there: your scores should be better than mine for a couple of reasons: 1) I've got a SATA 3 SSD on a SATA 2 board, and; 2) the bigger the SSD the faster (according to what I've read, anyway). I'm curious to see what your scores are.

BTW, AS SSD will test platter drives, too.

Ok, I just ran that thing and here you go.

Did you notice your read/write times were twice mine, and access times approximately halved? I'm going to assume that's due to both your SATA 3 mobo and your faster system. It wouldn't be worth just upgrading my mobo to get those speeds, but it's nice to know what took forward to when I upgrade my system. Which will be a while...

wow.... that makes my WD Black drive look like a complete piece of crap! That's much higher than I expected.

Hey LiveB,
How do my scores compare with your WD? I'm curious how much my SATA 2 board is throttling my speed.

I should have said your SEQUENTIAL read/writes were twice mine...

Hey Comp, That is about right when you consider SATA II and SATA III. I am using the 6.0 Header rather than the Marvell 6.0 Header. Don't know what the difference is on that though, although I've heard some say that the Marvell was slower for some reason.

Well whatever the reason that's a smokin' fast system.

I'm away from home at the moment (I'll be home tomorrow), and am typing this on the laptop, but I recall it was something like 110MB/sec or so sequential reads and slightly less seq. writes. It's about half full. Btw my WD Black is SATA 2 and is plugged into the Intel P55 chipset's sata 2 ports. (I'm not using the marvell sata 3 controller for anything at the moment, but will probably use it if I get an ssd.)

Wait... sandy bridge has it's own sata 3/6gbps ports, yet asus also put in a marvell controller? Why? With mine, since the chipset didn't have sata 3 (or usb 3), gigabyte added in 3rd party controllers to compensate for future proofing.

Yep. They did. Thinking of moving to the GEN 3 version of this MOBO for the PCIe 3.0 to be ready for the GTX 680. Just trying to keep up with the Jones' .

I inserted my Novabench score so you can see what kind of braggin' rights you've got.

I don't think I've run novabench in a while, but you can see my furmark score in my sig. (it's the first hidden thing) Mine's around 10 or 11K, and coastie's is 18K I think. lol... I don't even want to know how my laptop compares to his!

My netbook would probably choke and spit up a hairball....

The target score is on the right:

Yeah... http://3dmark.com/he...ck/3dmv/3924244
I had the CPU (and I think GPU) overclocked when I did this.

To be honest, mine is OCed to 4.2 - 4.4 Ghz.

[coastie65]

I think My Gateway is at around 17,000.

[coastie65]

Well, I have ear marked a new MOBO. Same as the one I have in here but GEN3 w/ PCIe 3.0. Gotta get ready for the Ivy Bridge and GTX 680 card.
