    Could someone with a 128GB SSD please post a benchmark?

    I'm getting the feeling mine is underperforming.

    Here's mine:

    I think the results are not that bad, but can you share with us your SSD model.

    Tweaking? Egad!!!! Bad word.

    Yes the model and system its in might be nice. Gonna guess an Intel and maybe even in a Netbook eheheheh. Use a Crystal score if u can...the 4k randoms are what we need to see.

    It''s a 128GB Samsung PB22-JS3 2.5 and it's in a XPS 1645.

    Here's my new results:

    So it look like the write speeds are massively underperforming. Any idea why this might be?

    I have this drive in my 1640. I recently flashed the firmware to enable TRIM, which makes a massive difference. Without it, SSD drives degrade in performance more quickly.
    also, make sure you disable RMClock if you have it undervolting or underclocking as this ill greatly affect the benchmark.

    I suggest you flash the new firmware too: http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...-samsung-pm800-ssd-trim-now-available-36.html

    Those results do indeed look strange.
