A way to limit the trim lack impact is to enforce free space on SSD, I made a partition on it that only cover 90% of drive capacity, 10% is left free. To go further, it will need to try other ATA/IDE drivers, and so to lost Trim feature from Samsung Magician utility. WinXP standard kernel, standard Microsoft IDE/ATA driver, Sata-II : => If you have a Sata-II or more drive that only work in Sata-I mode on this board, change the Sata Cable ! Later, I was given a 50cm thick 'black' 6Gb/s certified cable with latch, and since, the SSD is always in Sata-II mode. Tests below were done with that short cable. With a 35cm cable of the same kind, it mostly, but not always, enable Sata-II speed. This benchmark was done with a standard 50cm thin 'red' Sata cable. In fact, I took months to admit that it's purely a cable thing. Okay, so Sata-III drive on Sata-II motherboard = Sata-I speed ? (Note: I only have a 4Gb free patition at the end of the disk, so speed might not be as fast as usual, but it allow comparison between drivers tests done here) I've also benchmarked my old 74Gb Raptor HDD for reference, as it matters below. WinXP standard kernel, standard Microsoft IDE/ATA driver : All my tests were done on a clean OS installation on a old spare Parallel ATA HDD, took an image, and restore it after each test. Some warnings for thoses who will try that same tests at home, BSOD may happen at reboot if things doesn't go right. This time I wished to share how good a quite recent SSD can do on an old A8N32-SLI Deluxe (nForce 4) motherboard. Hello there, to the ones that still use a socket 939 computer in this 2018 year.
