there added to the original post

hmmm...maybe try the firmware update, you're at 1.1 I guess?

 

[ArmenianLegend]

yes i am

does 1.1 have this known issue?

 

[Bazmecc]

not sure, but a new drive should be way faster...any way you're somehow limiting it to SATA 1 speeds with a jumper or something?

 

[ArmenianLegend]

there are no jumpers on the ssd but there is room for one, and this is being used with my sig rig

It seems like somebody didn't do their homework

There's a number of reasons why your performance is down and all of the answers can be found on the OCZ forums..

I suggest you start reading http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/fo...play.php?f=186 it will both prolong the life and increase the performance of you SSD.
