Weird problem with X-25m G2

Does anyone know why my 4k read/write is so much slower than other people with the same drive??? Its a brand new X-25m G2 drive.

I even used HHDErase 3.3 to secure erase the drive when i first benchmarked it. I thought something was wrong with it. But even after a second secure erase, i am still having the same problem.

I have attached two different benchmarks. Everything is normal for the SEQUENTIAL read/write and RANDOM 512K Read/Write

Problem is with my 4K scores. It seems as tho they are cut in half than what they are supposed to be. AHCI is enabled.

If youre not, youre wrong. G2 benches better speeds overall especially 4K writes.

Sorry bunta, this is what all of the articles about x25m Postville explain.

Also if you use google to search for specific benchmarks for the ssd you will see the same results everywhere.

and so on .....

Or read here : http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3607&p=4

In this article they've used a 160GB drive which does a bit better in the 4k.

So, where did you get your information from?
