Slow V-Raptor...

[Copyright]

Buddy of mine just upgraded his WD320 to a 150g V-Raptor and we are seeing some poor results in his drive benchmarks and the OS feels slow. My V-Raptor was getting in the 120's for SEQ read and write where his seems to get in the 80's. He is running Win7 and the bios setting is possibly in IDE mode. I don't believe we have tried loading the latest intel chipset drivers to see if this fixes the problem as well. He is using an E7200 @ 3.6ghz on a P45 Asus board (I forget which model). Thanks for any advice.

Will do, I used Crystalmark because I had ran it on mine and had a way to compare it. Plus the OS just feels slow.

The drive wasn't set as the primary boot drive. He changed the boot order to boot from that drive first and his benches went up a good amount. I saw the same thing a while back with my buddies MARS board. Unsure why this would cause a problem but thats twice I have seen it happen.
