I'm running on an ultrabook: the Asus UX31. The drive in question is the SanDisk SSD U100 256GB.
I've heard some reports of sluggish performance in cases, but after running CrystalDiskMark on it, I'm concerned it actually might be failing. I have the drive partitioned into a C and D partition of 95GB and 135GB respectively.Here are my performance numbers from that run:
I've watched transfers of data between partitions drop to under 10 MBps. What the hell?
Is it the partitioning causing the issue? Does the drive really suck THAT bad? This is sub-USB 2.0 performance...
Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated...
