They require a SATA 6Gbit/s controller to achieve it's specified performance metrics. All models are compatible to SATA 3Gbit/s controllers but would be limited in performance, usuAll EXCERIA SATA SSDs meet the SATA Revision 3.0 or later standard and support SATA 6Gbit/s link speed. SATA 6Gbit/s SSD on SATA 3Gbit/s controllerĪll EXCERIA SATA SSDs meet the SATA Revision 3.0 or later standard and support SATA 6Gbit/s link speed.
SSD WILL NOT INITIALIZE DRIVER
Please refer to the chipset vendor's website for available driver packages.ĥ.
offer additional AHCI driver sets that may improve SSD performance. In Windows, vendors like AMD, Intel ®, Marvell etc. IDE mode however may cause the drive performance to be lower than specified.Īll modern operating systems come with standard AHCI drivers. Using SATA controller in IDE mode instead of AHCI or RAIDĪll EXCERIA SATA SSDs are optimized for use on a SATA controller running AHCI mode, RAID mode will work just as well. In some cases on older motherboards, the first party (AMD, Intel ®) SATA2 controller may even outperform a third party SATA3 controller.ģ. These controllers may not have sufficient PCIe bandwidth and/or generally inferior performance metrics compared to the chipset vendor's solution. Many motherboards feature additional onboard SATA controllers from vendors like Marvell, ASMedia, etc. Low performance third-party SATA controller
Other tools may have different benchmark patterns, configurations (different queue depths, block sizes, etc.), file sizes and may thus yield different results.Ģ. If you're experiencing low performance using your SATA SSD, this may have one of the following reasons:Īll SATA SSD models have been specificed using the ATTO benchmark to determine sequential read and write speeds.
