just the whole steam folder? might reinstall then. Last question - If I have programs installed on my media drive, will they all need to be reinstalled?

Yeah, I'm gonna reinstall tonight. No harm in doing it now, Windows only takes about 5 mins to install ;)
Result: it's just as slow... and now it takes longer to boot as it has to go through an AHCI procedure and reboot after that. Any way to stop it from doing that? I think it hasn't been trimmed?
That does not sound right at all. When I eventually got Windows 7 installed properly with AHCI the performance difference was noticeable.
You should be getting results close to this.

I am. The drive is rated up to 285mb/s though. That's almost exactly the speeds I'm getting iirc.
Same as before then.
Have you got the AMD ACHI drivers installed?
With Windows 7 ACHI drivers:

With AMD ones:

Granted, it isn't the same drive but look at the improvement.
Edit: Disregard the Intel drive results.
If you look in the top left of his AS SSD results you can see the driver is msahci (Microsoft).Quote:

Yeah. Will try to install AMD AHCI drivers?
Get the latest ones from AMD rather than the ones on your disc.Quote:

Are the current latest drivers 18 months old (like the link) as well?Quote:

I tried the AMD drivers and didn't notice much difference, If anything a lower score on AS SSD. However, OCZ suggests using ATTO to benchmark their drives.Quote:

Right I installed it. Disaster. Far too slow to even use windos, freezes every few seconds. How do I uninstall this? :S It's sodding reinstalled itself too.
Oh thankyou Christ, it's over. I managed to get rid of it eventually.
