HDD slow performance with no Intel Sata controller after flashing BIOS with new version (mobo= AB9 PRO)
Hi,
I'm being puzzled with my HDD performance. The scenario is like this: Comp config: MoBo: Abit AB9 PRO Proc: Intel E6420 HDD: Samsung HD321KJ - (review here http://www.techtree.com/India/Review...880-632-3.html) 2 GB RAM etc. Intel Controller is enabled as AHCI in bios. When I had a fresh Windows install (and the HDD was practicaly empty, except for windows and the HDD speed test tool) i registered performance of 70-80 MBytes/s. I think that my problem started after I flashed my bios to version 19 (or it could be cause by the HDD filling up) that the average transfer rate on my HDD went to 15-25 MBytes/s . Before the bios update, I had an Intel Sata AHCI controller in Device Manager, now I only have Primary and Secondary IDE channel, and Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE controller under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers". Trying to install the intel controller ends with a message that no such device exists. What am I doing wrong here? Is the HDD borked? Help is very much appreciated. Thank you in advance. |
