SSD OCZ Vertex 3 slow.....

[slyfox2151]

any ideas whats wrong here?

things i have checked, SSD is plugged into Sata 3 slot.
SSD is aligned.
i cant upgrade the firmware atm as my driver is not supported (intel rst) but its something iwill be doing when i can.

i have also copied a large file from it self, to itself and it maxed out at 55mbps....


Left image is online benchmark.... right hand is mine.

Must be a driver issue.

I am at a loss here.
Are you using this drive connected to the motherboard in you specs?
Or, is it a different MB or an add-on card?

The reason I ask this is... Your MB in the Specs uses a AMD SB850 chipset, not an Intel south bridge (Which is required by Intel's RST).
You may wish to try the AMD South Bridge and AHCI for Windows 7 and/or the SB8xx RAID Driver for Windows 7: 64 bit link to the software


Some of the firmware updates state(d) that it will not work with Intel's RST, however, I have never had any problem.
However the newer updates for the Vertex 3 states:

Updating the firmware from the toolbox is not supported when Windows is running off the drive you are trying to update.

So, you would need an alternate method to flash the firmware.

And, you are connecting the drive to the (should be blue, not white) SATA3 1-6 ports?
AHCI is enabled in the bios?
Using the latest bios for the MB?

BAH... you are correct, im not using an intel chipset...

( my last mobo had it )....



well then i guess i will have to try update it from another PC as it does not show up with the tool,


i have it set to raid, but it should use AHCI for non raid drives... i also tried the white slots set to ahci but that was a no no.
cant boot windows without it in raid mode...
