So earlier this year I bought a Kingston 120GB SSDNOW SSD, it was cheap on Amazon and I had family over there to bring it back here (netherlands)
I ran benchmarks then and they seemed a bit weird but I didn't really investigate. Now I'm really confused and a bit disappointed because I compared my SSD to others. The read and write speeds are TERRIBLE. AHCI is enabled and all that, so that should all be good. I just kind of worry and not sure what I'm missing out on. The purpose of the SSD was to boot up Windows quickly (which it does in about 12 seconds, Windows 7 SP1) and run games like StarCraft II real quick, as in boot them up and load maps. It still takes a good 12-15 seconds to boot the program up. Should I expect more and want more, does it really matter? And if so, what is to be done? There are no firmware updates available for my SSD so that can't be the problem either. I've also benchmarked with AS SSD, and similar results came out of it. Both SSDlife and Kingston tell me my SSD is 100% healthy, too.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
