hi all. this HD Tune screenshot is from 3 weeks ago when the C300 was brand new.
this is what i got when i ran HD Tune today (multiple times to make sure).
before anyone asks
so what the heck could make my read performance drop so dramatically in such a short time? also, the access times are still very good and it still feels pretty fast.
within the next day or two, i will be upgrading my motherboard to a Gigabyte P45 UD3R. since i'm planning on reinstalling windows at that time, will a format of the drive restore the performance?
thanks in advance for any help

before anyone asks
- AHCI mode is on in BIOS and in windows
- its still got 40gb free out of 64gb and has been used lightly
- as you can see below, SSD Life from today reports that TRIM is supported and enabled
- btw i'm also using the msahci driver
