Well, what numbers are you comparing yours to? There is very little info here, but presumably you feel that your drive is under-performing compared to similar drives.

Correct. I thought it would get higher write numbers. The website states 260 reads and 180 writes. Other SSDs like the Intel 80GB G2 does better than mine.
 
In device manager the Torqx shows up as UDMA mode 5. Shouldn't it be 6? Would enabling AHCI help? Also, Everest and other HDD benchmark tools report the buffer being 32MB when i know it should be 64MB.
 
Anyone? The only things I haven't disabled are Prefetch and SuperFetch.
