The Test System
TEST SYSTEM
All tests were performed on a fresh and up to date install of Windows 7 x64 with no other applications running using AHCI mode set through the BIOS. The Asus P6T motherboard uses a ICH10R south bridge chipset which supports TRIM. In between every test, the drive was wiped completely (written to in all 0's or FF) and left idle for at least 20 minutes to ensure the TRIM function had time to do its job. As such, all results should be indicative of optimal performance. All components were set to their default speeds and are listed below:

Since there are so many SSD's out there now with different
controllers, we thought it would be helpful to have a reference of which
controllers all of the comparison drives use to help you compare
results. Different controllers definitely perform differently and each
have various strengths and weaknesses. We should also note that all of
the controllers and drives listed do support the TRIM function.

As you can see from the readout on CrystalDiskInfo and S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, as is TRIM. This is a great free tool to see what version of firmware the drive is running as well in the event there are updates available.
