I was wondering if anyone could help me with this?
I recently bough a 128 Gb Crucial SSD. I performed speed tests in both Windows and Ubunutu and I can only get read speeds of upto about 270 Mb/s whilist I should be getting faster speeds. My system configuration is as follows:
Motherboard: Gigabyte A55M-DS2
CPU: AMD A4:3300
RAM: Generic single channel 4GB DDR3
The motherboard claims to have SATA 3 ports but from the speeds I'm getting it looks like my SSD is running at SATA 2 speeds. I have set the mainboard to operate in AHCI mode and am using a proper SATA 3 cable. I have also updated the motherboard chipset drivers to the latest versions from the AMD website.
Can anyone offer any insight into why I am getting low speeds. I know that my Mainboard is budget board but it is advertised as a SATA 3 board.
Many Thanks for your advice on this.
