Samsung 840 EVO 120gb read speed with HD-Tach

[klrman]

After using the samsung restoration software to upgrade the firmware and correct the slowdown on the SSD that was talked about everywhere, I used HD-Tach which was suggested to check read speed and on both my systems with the EVO 120GB and it is showing 382 MB/s sustained for both SSD's.

Anyone else here have a 120gb EVO and used HD-Tach after to test their speeds? All applications are loading instantaneously, but shouldn't the speed be around 540 MB/s?

i guess you have SATA II motherboard not III . Otherwise enter BIOS and enable SATA III

Motherboard is all Sata III and BIOS auto detected and already set to AHCI for the SSD.

Set it manually

How, if all six SATA headers on the motherboard are already SATA III?
