It would be extremely helpful if you would share your motherboard's brand and model...

Also, what software are you using to assess the SSD's speed?

Check here for Windows optimization on SSDs: http://www.overclock.net/t/1156654/s...-for-ssds-hdds

Its a rampage IV extreme x79 mobo sorry ... Software was (as ssd)

Ps ahci is activated sorry was a late night

OK, now if you connected the SSD in the right SATA port, you're using the right cable (be sure that it's a good one) and you set the AHCI mode before you installed the OS - that should be good...

Do you have the latest BIOS and SATA drivers installed?

If yes for all of the above, you do have to check that link from my previous post for optimizing the Windows on the SSD. Be sure that you have enough free space on the SSD!

What's your SSD's exact model?
