This is mine on Windows 8, AHCI, Intel Sata 3:
Not quite sure why our scores are vastly different.
I bought this drive solely for my games on steam, origin, uplay etc, and apart from BF3 and DCS A-10C, I'm massively disappointed with the performance. Not with the drive itself but the games. There's nothing in my steam catalog that benefits from an SSD. There's zero difference in load up times between the Evo and my Spinpoint F3.
I've already got 400gb of games on my Evo and only 2 that run beautifully, and they ran just as well on my old M4.
What a waste of cash..for me anyway.
