It should be faster, mine are these:
I did install the Marvell SATA 3 drivers for my controller
Your board also has a Marvell controller, have you done the same?
My controller is also set to AHCI.
The driver is here:

EDIT: Is it plugged into a SATA 3 socket?
I've already installed this, but the drive isn't being controlled by it. Yes it is plugged in to a SATA 3 socket
Rocketman I believe the pciide from as ssd bench means you are running in ide mode not ahci.

You can just update the controller/config device manually though, done it on my Gigabyte mobo.
The driver adds a new policies tab so you can disable safely remove hardware icon and enable/disable the caching.
No, its a drive-to-drive clone of my crucial m225 256gb. I had hoped using Acronis TI would save the hassle of reinstalling
Is it so much of a hassle to do a reinstall? Personally I would do a clean install with the C300 to see if it makes a difference. Just run the benchmark again before you start a couple of times to confirm that it is still the same as before.
The only two places where the C300 and controller show up are here are ‘disk drives’ and ‘storage controllers’:
I'm on a ASUS P6X58D, have you tried your motherboard support forum?
