I have been reading around the archives a bit and found a few references to using 4.3 to get the full performance out of a Transcend SSD but my results are showing that the drive is slower on all fronts. I am wondering if anyone has tried these tests and what the results might have been?
Anyone know if there is a magic switch I can throw to make the OS use this type of drive at full speed?
