m550 numbers seem...low

[Syntaxvgm]

Any Ideas?

Seems a bit low for the m550 comparing to other benchmarks I've seen.

You must be either running off a marvell 6gbit sata port or have bad alignment..

That is entirely possible. Hmm let me download this MB's manual. I bought this one used, so I don't really know whats what on it. 

I mean I'm pretty certain it's not in a Marvell port but I didn't actually look at the manual.

Well that was it. It was on a marvell port. Downloading a manual from Gigabyte's website took like an hour. Cmon GB, stehp it up

Anyway the ports on the top are marvel ones, logic would have me believe those would be intel. 

Actually, if I would have had light under my desk, I would have noticed they were grey. 

Much better

I mean how do they get away with calling that 6G/s anyway?

I just plugged it into a 3G/s port for a comparison 

That's retarded. 

Ugh. 

Might as well be 3G/s ports.

marvell sata controllers are literly a pile of dogshit. I still dont get why mobo manufacturers use them.
