Hello,
I just built a new computer and was really excited about the new SATA 3 SSD drives that are capable of doing up to 550mb/s.
I have the following:
- i7 2600K Chip
- ASUS P8P67 EVO Motherboard
- 8GB of Patriot 1600MHZ DDR3 dual channel
- EVGA GTX470 Videocard
- OCZ Vertex 3 SSD 120GB
- Windows 7 PRO 64-Bit
When I run the HD Tune Pro program to test the speeds I always max out at 350MB/s. My question here is why does it max out at that speed and how can I get or get close to the 550MB/s speeds for read/write.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
-Chris
