New M6500 Discussion Thread

My SSD came with my laptop. I mean I did not add a SSD.

I also have the windows XP x 64 downgrade option. Should I try with this windows?

 

To borrow a meme, "ur doing it wrong".



These being portables, there's definitely a concession to be made with the PM55. The benchmark performance you're seeing though stinks of something else being the matter. Power scheme immediately comes to mind, as I had a good 15% deviation when it was set to a balanced plan versus performance. Start there.

 

Maybe yes but maybe not! Anyway the performances you got are clearly better than what skypx got. The difference could be due to power scheme but also to an updated firmware.

I tried to switch from balanced plan to performance. As you could see, it did not change anything :

I tried to google the problem and it seems that HP envy is not better...

 

Not just the Envy 15 but also the Thinkpad W510 suffers the same problem

So far it seems that the Intel 16GB RAM capable platforms have some sort of performance penalty/incompatibility with certain SSDs. Very frustrating to get a Quad Core, 16GB RAM equipped machine and then have the disk storage system underperform Intel controllers that are several generations older ...

 

Updated firmware on what exactly?

You'll notice that the firmware version of my c300 in that screenshot I provided is still at 0001.

Further, that was with A02. My A04 bios is actually faster using AS SSD.

 

True, maybe I need glasses.

 

Yes, but you have a different SSD. It could be that Micron's SSD implementation is not affected by the performance/compatibility issues that affect Intel and SF SSDs.

 

Perhaps, but the post I responded to had the results of a c300 like I have.

 

Perhaps I am blind but looking at your 20 last posts in this thread, I only found this response which compared your C300 to a SF1200

Don't think I've ever compared it to a completely different drive.
