I bought this ssd from corsair a few years back and was wondering why I was booting so damn slow.... Any ideas? I did a CrystalDiskMark test and the reads and writes were insanely LOW compared to their tech-specs on their site.... .... I'm running a pretty good motherboard and don't think it's because I'm lacking sata3 inputs. Any idea why? I tried putting my motherboard into UEFI boot only mode and it brought me to a black screen with a read out of what was connected to my Pci/sata connectors and said something along the lines of press any key to continue something.sh I ended up hitting the clear cmos button and dealing with the slow speeds currently....... any idea what maybe causing the slow speeds? The ssd isn't THAT old and I have it correctly installed (Assuming their isn't any hidden gimmicks) I'm going to try updating my bios right now so I'll prob check this post in ~20 minutes or so.

 

 

My pc specs-

i7 4770k Stock Speeds

MSI Z87 Mpower (not the max edition) motherboard

Corsair Force 3 180GB SSD

Hitachi 3TB HDD

Gtx 7704GB OC Gigabyte

Gx 650W PSU from CoolerMaster

300r Corsair Case

16GB Corsair DDR3 ram

It was never fast, that's the thing. I know they slow down allot but still 190 isn't like the 80mb/s you'd see when it's close to being dead. I think something else is involved because i've used this ssd for a bit but never actually had Super fast boots. I'd just recently given 2 shits to download Crystal Disk mark and google what the ssd's tech specs were. I can remember up to a month or two back when it was copy/pasting around 100mb/s in windows description during large copies....

I've run the Corsair SSD toolbox they offer on their site. It's basically just a firmware update.... Didn't change the read/write after updated. I doubt it's near death I think it's a driver issue... I'm updating my bios drivers and crap right now to see if I can produce a different result...

Still have no idea why the read/writes are so low.... I don't think it's dying because I never noticed it booting faster than minute average... Good thing my birthday is in February I'll prob get a Samsung Evo SSD from newegg :P I think it's like just over 3 years old so it won't be under warranty or anything D:
