It would require a re install of windows to work but there is also a registry change that can be done to enable you to change the bios setting without a fresh install.(check ocz forums for info) If you went down the re-install route I would recommend you run HDDErase to clean your drive so its like when you bought it (it will be a bit quicker since benchmarking a few times can slow the drive) followed by ahci mode then install windows. (more info on HDDErase can be found on the ocz forum)

You would then need to install Intels Rapid Storage Driver in windows so it used that instead of the standard microsoft one (this is assuming you are running a board with an intel chipset)

Also CrystalMark isn’t a great benchmark with these drives you will get more realistic results using ATTO.

here are my results with a Vertex 2E 120gb with ATTO and CrystalMArk just for comparison. (I was getting way less when I was in IDE mode instead of AHCI)

Green = 2 60GB Vertex2 e SSD’s , blue Spinpoint 3 HDD
Is this normal? is there any way to reach your speeds?
