So I installed a Crucial M4 128GB SSD drive yesterday and it worked straight away as these things should (after I told Windows 7 is was there and quick formatted it to NTFS).
Problem though is that I've copied my Steam folder across to it from a 7200RPM Samsung SATA drive (Steam was not running at the time) and when I woke this morning it was still going, and I'd been in bed for 8 hours
Looks like I've literally been getting 1.5mb/s transfer rates all night, I download stuff quicker than this!
I can't run a speed test right now as i'm now at work, but what program do I need to check the speeds and figure out why it's going so slow?
Gigabyte P55M-UD4 Motherboard with 5x P55 Express SATA 3Gb/s connectors.
Intel X-25 80GB SSD in SATA Port 0 (OS drive)
Crucial M4 128GB SSD in SATA Port 1
Samsung 1TB 7200 rpm drive in SATA Port 2
AHCI mode is enabled, as is TRIM - already checked this.
So what's the obvious things? Could a dodgy cable be causing it? Lack of juice perhaps?
The only thing I had to mess about with was that the Samsung drive was previously in SATA port 1 and I moved it to SATA port 2.
