I have a Gigabyte x58-ud3r which comes with Marvell 9128 for SATA3 6G and my Vertex3 benchmark numbers are no way near the spec or reviews. The max read is around 360mb/s and write is around 160mb/s. Am I missing something here? How are those reviewers getting a full spec speed? Any input will be appreciated.
Running under Win7 64bits Ultimate
AHCI enabled in BIOS, TRIM?, single partition, latest Marvell driver

I've used the AS-SSD and ATTO benchmark. I'll post some pictures of the results tonight.
 
its the Marvell bro. such a big peice of crap is this, that when they sent the V3 to reviewers they came with instructions to said reviewers to specifically NOT test on that bus. that marvell is a turd. im tellin ya, put it on teh ICH10R and you will be golden :)
 
It's your Marvell controller.

This is my 128GB C300 (should be much slower than a Vertex 3) on a laptop with ICH10R

ATTO

I guess I'm stuck with this number until I get a native 6Gbps controller. Perhaps a PCIe Sata3 6Gbps controller card would work better?

You could pick up a nice LSI controller. That marvell is the reason your score isn't aas high as you would like to see. You pretty much need a PCIE 4X card or move over to P67 for the Intel 6gb.
 
Surprised people still don't know about the Marvell situation. Marvell has always sucked.

Sounds like a good reason for a Sandy Bridge upgrade. :)
 
Will I see an advertised spec performance using a low cost controller such as a Highpoint 620 or a LSI 9211? It seems that OCZ forum "gurus" saying I need a hardware raid controller like a LSI 9260 or a LSI 9265 in order to max out Vertex3 spec. Can anyone enlighten me please?
 
Intel's P67 onboard PCH will max it out to their specs just fine. That's what they used to get the ATTO numbers.
