    As far as I know, on most controllers TRIM is only supported when the drive is not in Raid. Also which controller are you using?

    Have you configured Windows for use with the ssd? Ssd optimisation tips

    does your motherboard support SATA 3.0 (SATA 6 Gbit/s)?

    sounds like it might only support SATA 2.0 (SATA 3 Gbit/s) which would top out at around 300 MB/s per port.

    EDIT: just noticed you mentioned your mobo there and that it does do SATA 3.0, so not sure what it could be in your case, unless maybe the SATA cables aren't up to scratch for the higher speed?

    funnily enough, i'm just waiting myself for my two 60gb agility 3's to be delivered from overclockers, but i have the same dilemma with the motherboard only supporting SATA 2.0. :(

    i'm sitting here now trying to justify a new motherboard, but my current socket 1156 and i5 750 are only just starting to get a bit dusty, so it's a tough sell, particularly as i already have a 60gb 2nd gen SSD in it already. :D
