I installed a SSD in my fathers acer aspire x3990 desktop pc.
I cloned the partition where windows was installed to the new Samsung SSD EVO860 250GB, and afterwards i took the old harddrive out because only one drive could fit in motherboard because the dvd-burner-drive(the motherboard only has 2 sata slots, one for hdd and one for dvd).
(i think it has 2, 2.0 sata slots [3GB/s])
I have used Samsung cloning software. The computer is still just as slow as before at startup, i tried using samsung magician software and clicked on the RAPID technology, it did not help on the startup.
I tried using the benchmark tool in samsung magician and before i clicked the RAPID on the sequense thing was on about 270 read / 240 write or the other way around i cant remember, but with RAPID on it says 1370MB/s Read / 1061MB/s Write, so alot higher, and random IOPS was also way higher afterwards also. But it did not help to make the pc start or load faster.
Under device management it says at IDE ATA/ATAPI-controller, Standard SATA AHCI-Controller.
The computer i believe has 2 3GB/s SATA slots(sata-III).
My question is should'nt the pc be alot faster at startup with the new Samsung SSD than with the old HDD?
I cloned the new SSD with the MBR options. Should it have been GPT instead? i didnt think so because it is only 250GB.
BIOS sata disc is set to AHCI.
I have bought EaseUS Partition Manager, because i thought about changing it from MBR to GPT, but i dont know if it will help, or if i should Format it and do a clean install of windows on it instead?
All help would be very much appreciated, i dont know what to do. (i have some photos i took of the screen, but i dont know how to uplad them from my pc).
