So, today while doing some cable management. I changed to the lower slot on my sata6 and I went from

This

To THIS!

Could it have been a bad sata 6 slot?

Did you go from the navy blue port to a white one? If so, then that's why. The navy blue port are the crappy Marvell-controlled ports.

Sata slot may be on the native chipset controller instead of the add-on the mobo.

No, the white or gray one it was plugged in on the top though all i did was plug it in on the bottom.

Oh, well that's different.

Then I guess it might either be a bad SATA port or it could have been a less-than-perfect connection.

Could be I hope it's not a bad slot :/ at first I thought CrystalDiskMark was being bad. I reran the tests and same results. I'll have to try and see with another ssd benchmark but this is great!

 

[gotendbz1]

run test with as ssd

Here is mine for a comp to yours at the 1000mb test. MIne is only a day old though.

Are the white ports on THIS mobo marvell?

I use the blue ones. Im getting an ssd in the mail this week so I want to know which I should use.

They're Gigabyte's "GSATA" ports, but they're almost as bad as Marvell's. hehe Many people only use the GSATA for optical drives, but I didn't. I mean, I had the EP45-UD3P and I tried to use the GSATA ports, but that meant I had to have a slightly longer POST time because having the GSATA ports enabled instead of disabled meant that I had to wait for the POST to tell me about those ports. lol

lol, so im ok using blue ports then. Hope i get near advertised seq readwrites

Check your motherboard manual. Seems like I've read (in the weeks of laboring over the decision of which motherboard to buy) somewhere that at least one of the motherboards handles an upper slot differently than the lower slot on the same stack? Perhaps one shares lanes with another PCIe interface?

Just a thought.

I've only used my (2) Crucial M4 128 Gb SSDs on RAID 0 for 2 days. Just wondering if the result I got is a typical result for a RAID ) set up.

0.o thats ridiculously fast

OK, my SSD is working then. I'm not so familiar with this SSD benchmark so I asked.

 

[drufause]

One thing to consider. Trim does not work correctly in raid on ssd. You are relying completely on the on board garbage collection.

 

[adamski07]

my crucial m4 is plug in the blue ones(bottom) and im gettign same result 300mb/s!
I'll try to move it in other ports and see if it will go up to 500 since I flash v. 009 driver.
