New Solid State Drive (SSD)

[Colonel Mitch]

Well I just bought myself a SSD

The main issue I found with my rig was that the HD was always the bottle neck and I felt that my Graphics card was being held back.

So lastnight after rebuilding my PC I installed BC2 and for the first time I managed to play it with all the setting on very high and smoothly.

I also carried out a HD test so I could see the numbers.

OCZ 120GB Vertex 2E SSD 2.5" SATA-II Read = 285MB/s, Write = 275MB/s 50,000 IOPS


Also, ATTO Disk benchmark is the mainly used program for what you want to do


The numbers are a litle low to what the box said, so I will need to look into why this is.

I have an OCZ Revodrive here so get about twice that, tho it doesnt support trim but sandforce has its own garbacge collection over time.

I assume your on windows 7, and if so have you enabled TRIM?

If yes delete sumthign and "empty" your recycle bin wait an hour or so, then re run the test.

Also ATTO disk benchmark is the software everyone goes by for read write speeds geneally speaking. here http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads...ark_v2.34.html
