So, I recently upgraded from an Intel 320 120GB SSD to an Intel 520 180GB SSD. Rather than reinstall (reinstall was done about 3 months ago) I decided to clone and resize partitions.
Long story short, when running benchmarks I noticed AS SSD said "160650 K -BAD". Upon research I found out this was a misalignment of partitions because I had cloned my SSDs. I came across the Paragon Alignment Tool 3.0, which I installed, it then found the issue, and fixed it upon a reboot (I let it run at work so I'm not sure how long it took). Once I came home I noticed immediate improvement in logging in even which I was surprised about.
I reran AS SSD and Crystal Mark Disk and was amazed at the differences! Here's a link to pre and post alignment benchmarks.

Anyone else have this issue? Very happy with the results myself.
