Alienware M17x 2010 version, OCZ Performance Problem
Hello guys, I have an Alienware M17x the 2010 version with a core2duo cpu, I installed a OCZ Vertex 2 90 GB Drive and I get the advertized speeds 270 read and 250 write, I bought a new OCZ Vertex 3 and I installed it in my laptop and I get 139 Read speed and 135 write, but the advertized speed is 540 Read and 500 write. I bought 2 of this drives to run them in Rade 0 and the performance is doubled in raid so is 250 read and 240 write. I took one of this HDD and i instlled them in my M14x and i got speed of 270 Read and 250 write and is still not near 500. Some people on the internet got speeds of 500 with this drives.
Why is the speed diference between my M17x and my M14x? Remember that my old OCZ vertex 2 is running faster than Vertex 3 on my M17x and same performance is on my M14x.
Can someone solve my dilema?
Thank you guys

It could be due to a motherboard limitation, as far as I'm concerned both of those laptops are limited to SATA II speeds and the ones that can run them at 500 read and write must be SATA III.

yea the original M17X R1 was not the fastest being its a core2duowhich is actually 2009 release .. its limited.. the M14X is a totally different class and had the newer chipset thats supports sata 3 and has newer cpu i5/i7 ect depending on model ...
i had 1 ssd on my M17X R2 my seagate 7200 rpm drive was faster, but in my desktop ( faster cpu faster ram faster period) it was better
internet specs are what its possible of doing but hardware is aways limitation cant always go by what u see unless you have 100% same hardware for rest of system.
