Can anyone offer any explanations as to why my speeds for this SSD is SO MUCH slower than the typical benchmarks online?
Here's a typical ATTO result from reviews online:

In my own ATTO bench, all five of my test runs cap out at a max of ~135MB/s Write and ~142MB/s Read, using identical transfer sizes as in the link above.
I'm running this on an older T61 w/ C2D 2.0Ghz (T7250) w/ 2GB DDR2 667, w/ AHCI enabled, and power savings features turned OFF to ensure CPU is running at max. Now, I suspect that the dated CPU/Memory might be the limiting factors here, not to mention the fact that this is on a laptop, but would that really account for HALF the performance of other reviews online? I am willing and already have come to grips w/ how dated my beloved Thinkpad is =D, but I'd like to know if it really is the machine showing its age or if I am missing something. Thanks!
