Hello,

How would you rate my SSD's benchmark results?

What is your motherboard model?

What is your motherboard model?

Asus P8P67 DELUXE. I think the SSD is connected in an 6Gb/s port.

Your benchmark results indicate that your SSD is connected to a SATA 2 (3Gb/s) port.

Your drive should be connected to port SATA6G_1 or SATA6G_2 (in AHCI mode).
See page 2-25 of your motherboard manual for the location of the ports.

Allright, I'll give it a try and check the speeds. Thank you!

You where right! Huge performance increase, thank you!

Any other tips for squeezing more speed out of it?

Your Write speeds should be slightly higher.
If you have the drive connected to SATA6G_1 then connect it to SATA6G_2. If you have the drive connected to SATA6G_2 then connect it to SATA6G_1.

If you don't see any increase in performance then update your AHCI drivers and see if that helps any.

Got an increase when I changed from SATA6G_X to SATA6G_Y, do you think I still should update the ACHI drivers?

Update:

I tried the ATTO benchmark, here are the results:

Does this mean that my SSD is slightly better than it is rated for?

Yes, that's what it means.

No need to update your AHCI drivers if you don't want to. You are good-to-go!
