Hi guys,
Just bought a 120gb Vertex 2 SSD to replace my 128gb Performance SSD and am now wondering whether my laptop is causing me problems.

I am getting 170mb average reads in HDTach, 210mb in Crystal Mark and 150mb in HDTune. Writes in Crystal mark are at 130mb despite leaving machine on idle over night for TRIM (This was a brand new drive as of yesterday and has the newest firmware).

The P128 was giving me reads of 130 and writes of 30 before I sent it back.

I have the drive installed in a Aspire 6935G laptop with 4gb ddr3 and a P8700 cpu @ 2.5ghz so there should be no bottle necks there. Any ideas?
 
Is the partition aligned correctly? In HD tune it should mention in the top left area what the offset is and whether it is ok or bad. If you restored an image of your OS instead of a full install it probably won't align it properly
 
It was built from scratch - no images, cant see anything in hdtune about alignment, interestingly it keeps claiming that my hard drive is running too hot @ 80 deg C but it certainly doesn't feel it.
