Thanks for the advice guys. I've securely erased the HD, have the current firmware, installed a fresh copy of windows 7 x64, ran through all the updates and tweaks for the ssd (prefetch, superfetch, write caching, system restore, defrag, etc).Ran the SSD toolbox cleaning tool. Trim is enabled, I've included a Crystal Disk Info report in the below screen grab.
I've disconnected all my other drives for the moment, so all I have is a DVD Drive and the X-25M.
When I run the AS SSD benchmark, the write benchmarks for 4K and 4K-64Thrd take over 5 minutes, is that normal? (Ignore the Acc. Time for Read, one of the other programs blocked access to it and I wasn't too pushed about running the test again).
Really getting disheartened with it, I've formatted twice already today. I'm at a loss what to do next
