Yesterday I bought a new Intel X25-V 40GB SSD drive. I first tested it in a
running system, Windows 7 was installed on a 500 GB HDD. I used HDTach and
the performance was superb.

I then installed Windows 7 on SSD. I disabled Windows Search, Superfetch,
Indexing, System Restore and Windows Pagefile. TRIM function is working
properly. The performence in HDTach is a lot lower in areas where data is
stored.

I don't think it has anything to do with a typical speed degradation, it is
too soon and TRIM is working. After all this is brand new Windows 7 on a
brand new drive. Could it be an issue with HDTach?

My system:
Core2Duo E6750
ASUS G31 + ICH7 board
4GB DDR2-800 RAM
WD 500GB SATA2
Intel X25-V (system)
