Cupe Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 remove the bug and i'll tell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Raptor Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I would say your drives do not have a 6.0 interface/chipset in them. They are probably rated for 3.0 and thats what the motherboard sata controller detects when it polls the drives.That doesnt mean that the drives are running slower than they should.

DJ_Raptor Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yep confirmed. your SSD has a 3.0 interface.i dare say your 1tb would def have 3.0Here is a great site i found which also lists some 6.0 drives in case you need one.http://diskcompare.com/item/3922/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 what benefit is it having the ssd in a desktop? i thought the advantage was nk moving part and lightness hence good for lappys? im heaps behind in the game my laptops older than four years now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Raptor Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 hi egg,The great benefit is actually the speed. Its actually been said that the very best value upgrade you can do to a PC (even an old one) is move them to solid state drives. better than more ram etc..The down side is that they have had all sorts of issues... slowing down over time... sectors failing after a certain ammount of read/writes etc...Some issues have been fixed, some have not. Its not something you would expect to have for 10 years, but its a big big speed boost for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck_Choi Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 mhmm. i think his computer turns on in about 10-15 seconds. but its still running at a slower speed then we thought.. DOHits not compatible with 6.0 gbps.. upset.. hahabut still good thanks +rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 ahhh cool cheers raptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Raptor Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Actually heres something you'll find interesting Buck...There are new solid state drives that I've been quoteing lately which plug into a PCI-Express slot on your motherboard.They have had to do this because they are now faster than the entire SATA interface and need to be plugged directly to the motherboard to bypass the bottleneck Amazing speeds. I want one hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatLeSS Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Solid State advantages = you can knock your pc about more than a platter drive.The speed differences i would find almost negligible except for seek time Raptor. Would still be bottlenecked by interface.If you want super speeds get a RAM drive, throw 4x4GB RAM chips on there and away you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
