Low Disk Performance

[thegamer1907]

I bought a new Toshiba 2 TB hdd from sls today to try and see if it's really the drive failing. And also bought a new Sata cable.
Got back, installed, plugged out all other drives except ssd. Still same r/w results on the brand new Toshiba. Could it be motherboard on board controller up lorry?

maybe if u can post us some pic of ur speed of the new drive as well as ur other hdd...but den again aint we here to test if its the SSD problem?

but if u test hdd, the speed definitely not on par as to SSD....

the new toshiba HDD speed was the same as the hitachi one posted in the first post. a quick google shows that the drive speed is definitely higher, over 100mb/s sequential read

it also seems like all my drives benchmark speed is always around 35mb/s.
SSD always around 45mb/s.

no idea what is going on anymore.

Resetted bios, changed power cable, changed SSD sata 3 port to SATA 2 port, still the same performance.
Is it really the drive?
My last resort is to get a new drive and try..

do u kno how to install & run ubuntu from usb stick (no install)? find "gnome-disks" & run benchmark, to dbl-check if ur prob is os- or driver-related or not... some pics,

Since your HDD and SSD both have the same problem, then it should be either the BIOS corrupted or SATA controller up lorry.

If the latter, then I would suggest RMA or get a new MB.

You can also consider a PCIe SATA card.

yes, if testing in ubuntu fails, i will give avertek a visit tomorrow..

made a typo earlier.
i meant install ubuntu to usb stick, and run ubuntu from usb stick
and no install to ssd/hdd required (select "try ubuntu w/o installing" when asked)

hope u got wat i meant...

yes i got it.. thanks..

it looks like it is due to windows problem...
im not sure why.. the drivers seem to be fine.. i installed all the drivers from intel.

If install back win7 no prob, might be some win10 settings causing the problem

Install win10 make sure have all the updates than do a test, b4 install firewall and antivirus

ur access times for ssd & hdd still very high tho,
ssd 0.1-0.2ms, hdd 10-20ms
ur ssd 0.75ms, hdd 52-62ms - urs abt 3x more

wonder if tat indicates smthg wrong with the mboard...

will try again bechmark with the new drive. cuz just now removed it from the system.. if its the same.. maybe ill just go down to avertek and ask them to test. but wonder if they will accept RMA even though it is "working"?

 

[hlots123]

if you test again, can u untick "perform write-benchmark" as wat i did
jus to make sure access times are not affected by write-testing...

unsure rma-wise, but if they install win10 to run test hopefully get same problem

 

[thegamer1907]

this is the performance of the new drive.. still very high access time.

even without write benchmark, still high access time. guess i will have to visit avertek tomorrow

 

[hlots123]

for ref i also got samsung hd103, it got 17ms but i didn't screenshot
but curious, why win10 testing the read scores were so so low...

windows 10 optimize issues?

Just an update.. Went avertek today, confirmed is controller issue. Swapped for another set. Thanks to all who helped.
