    it's me again i know i know i am a pain....

    I just got this ssd and installed first on my desktop where i have 2 x25-m and i was impressed by the as ssd score (478) even more then the 2 intel... then moved it on my laptop installed windows and everything (i hade to run the installation 3 times due to some problem i had with graphic card) and i tested again my as ssd score is down to (205) and the big difference is mainly in 4k read and write that went from 28mb/s read 110mb/s write to 12mb/s read 19mb/s write

    I wonder if is the laptop that doesnt have the best hardware to go the max speed or i did something wrong... this weekend i may unplug it and bring it back on the desktop to run a test but i was wondering if any of you have ever had this problem

    very different performance from laptop to dektop

    my mistake i checked the spec of the laptop and i noticed the SATA is SATA I not SATA-II

    a little lame having SATA-I nowday.... but it wont make that much of a difference i just though SATA-II was the standard nowday.

    I tryed again with high performace result are still low then i donwloaded ATTO bench that is suggested by OCZ and result are very different more in line with specification even if still a little low on the 4kb. (20%-30% less then people on dekstop SATA-II)

    but i found out that OCZ vertex2 that use Duradess technology actually lower the speed when usage is out of "standard" and as i reinstalled W7 at least 4 time and installed a game of 25gb it may be over my weekly quota forcing the firmware to slow down to avoid excessive wear-out

    this will automatically will be back normal in 1 week if the usage% is back to normal.

    As it stand i stopped benching it (it actually increse the wearout quite a bit) and will enjoy it for a couple of week before bench it again.

    So far my W7 turn on pretty fast so i honestly dont complain. i will keep it posted later on.
