My new SSD on the wifes PC was kicking along at 130 read (Its a clapped out SATA 1)
Booted it up yesterday and it took a week, benchmarked it at 3mbs, couldn't fix it, so moved lead onto next port..back up to full speed.
Weird or is there a reason?

Possibly, maybe you can pull it out a bit and it slows down, or the bits are leaking out and I'll have to empty the computer case.

I was more thinking that if it's not quite seated it may pick up interference from other things in the case.

On the other hand if the 'old' port plain doesn't work properly now it can easily be stuffed. I had that with one a couple of years back. Another SATA port on the same motherboard (I can't recall if via the same chipset) still works fine.

Um, it needs a TRIM? For any SSD I would always create a partition the total size less 10 per cent to allow for TRIM etc.

Yeah, I read about trim, using XP so no trim avaliable, you can use 3rd party apps, but read scare
stories of them causing block failures.I think the latest SSD's might trim themselves.
