    Hello,
    I wonder if it is possible on my vaio Z31WN enable the IDE instead of ACHI because it is impossible to use for my HDDERASE INTEL POSTIVILLE.
    More results I get down on writing 4k. (34.34 MB)

    HDDERASE doesn't work even with IDE enabled on Z. There is a new Intel firmware with TRIM support for your SSD:
    Firmware
    After firmware update your SSD performance is as new.

    Your benchmarks are more than OK, compare with those results.

    But normally 4k should be around 60 instead of 30

    60 is the performance of desktop. On notebook, around 40 is normal.
