My OCZ Vertex 3 120 Gb speed

[pjmoses]

Hey Guys, just needing to konw what free benchmark progran will show how fast my read and write is on my new OCZ Vertex 3 120 Gb. I have ran a couple and they show a read of only in the 120's. I have everything turned off on it and wondering what I am missing. Can someone help me?

Advertised speeds for all OCZ drives are with ATTO & AS-SSD benchmark software.

Here's the link for ATTO: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1137/ATTO_Disk_Benchmark_v2.34.html

Here's the link for AS-SSD: http://download.techworld.com/3248894/as-ssd-benchmark-16/

How do I put a screen shot of the benchmarks on here. I snipped them and saved the picture, but can not find a way to post those pictures?

The ATTO gives me good readings of over 500Mb on read and write, but the AS-SSD only gives me about 138 on the read side.

I use imageshack. Simple to upload and copy/paste the links. "Thumbnail link" version is nice for forums.

Have you set your drives to AHCI mode in your BIOS?

Using HD Tune, my rates were:

185.9 min
429.0 max
346.6 ave

Also, have you updated firmware to 2.08?

It gives more performance/stablity IMO.

I just ried HD Tune and got min 298, max 433, average 397. Does that sound good? I also got a crital disk temperature of 128c. Is that possible?

Seems OK.

Also, SSDs don't have temp sensors on them so ignore temp readings.

Mine also shows 128C.

update to the latest 2.11 firmware since it's being proven faster than previous versions so far.
