Hey all!
Need to ask you all about the following HyperX SSD issue. The thing really baffles me.
It’s a regular 120 Gb Kingston HyperX drive. No Savage. About 8 mnths in service now. Worked fine so far, been happy with the HDD->SSD technology transfer in general. Windows 10 boots fast, the overall feeling has been more than just fine so far. Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I fired up some SSD benchmark apps. Just to see where we’re at.
The numbers which ensued from the test shocked me a bit.
Now, as the picture shows, 77 MB/s SEQ write is downright bad I’d say. Dare to say, way below the declared writing speed.
My WD Black per instance, transfers 90+ MB/s during the same test.
Really, don’t know what's wrong here. both BIOS and W10 AHCI mode are on, using native AMD drivers (latest Catalyst chipset available). AMD’s FX 8320, Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 with 8 gigs of RAM.
I have the same SSD running in my older notebook with SATA II technology & . The notebook due to the chipset limitations does nearly 130 MB/s.
Thank you for your attention and thank you for your assistance.
