Help with OCZ Vertex 2 performance

[Ualaa]

I've read platter drives slow down, at 50% of capacity used. SSD's aren't supposed to slow down until 90% capacity.

If you have Windows 7, and the TRIM command that should keep the drive running quick. If you don't, I've read it's a good idea to partition the drive so you have an unused section which the memory controller can use to keep the drive running smoothly.

I get 488 MBs read on my 50G revo under sandra test.

It dosnt have trim it has some other thing.

Test with sandra (its free) and you can get lots of infos as to what is going on with your system, do the benchmarks and you should have a good idea where the bottleneck is.

I would not put my OS on these as I think, if its like mine, it is a raid zero set up. Just almost one failure and you are down.

WoW fit into 50G so I save some bucks over the higher capacity drives.

Thanks to everyone for the valuable and informative feedback. I had temporarily taken the SSD out of my current system to test some stuff. I will check out the links and tools you all suggested and see if maybe I can't figure out what's going on. Thanks again everyone for your time!
