Hi again,

I want to post about the issue i have with my SSD, it is a Samsung 840 Pro 512GB, installed in my latest laptop, i the beginning it performed excellent or great, but within the time and almost more than 70% filled, it is not slow and boot to windows 7 in about 50 seconds or 1 minutes, so even my Seagate hybrid doing better then, i posted a result from AS SSD and it showed 1K bad and also in Samsung Magician it said that AHCI is not available and can't recognize the connected SATA and it is connected to SATAIII, i remember first time i did installed it was fine and recognized the SATA and AHCI enabled, what happened that it changed everything?

Now how can i fix this SSD issue even if i free a lot of space? Should i try to reformat it after i move all data or can i fix it without format and will this return back its high performance?

Start over. Wipe it with the Samsung Magician, test the drive, format and set it for over provisioning. At least 15%. This is unalocated space. set AHCI install then install. Tis should get all your proformance back and maintain it.

First test the speed of the drive so you have a idea how slow it is !

Let's talk about the speed test, it gave me good speed for read/write, IOS is low and i am not the only one has this issue, so there is something else wrong, i think i better try to free up space and check out the settings again, if it works fine, if not then i better re-format and re-install win 7 again and do tweaking again.
