    Hey guys,
    I just pick up an Kingston V Series SSD 128gb for my T400. This is my first ssd and I am totally noob to these ssds thing.
    First thing I did when received my SSD is format it and do a fresh intall of Win 7 on it.
    After that, I check my read speed with hdtune and crystal disk mark and the result came very disappointed.

    Review from newegg customer mention that these drives are running atleast 180+++ but I only get 1/2 of it.

    What drivers are you using? Not sure about the Kingston 128GB drives, but the Intel drives have specific drivers that have a huge performance advantage over the stock Windows drivers supplied for the SSD.
