Other than that, don’t know I’m afraid.

With respect to the speeds, you list the max and average – but did you actually measure the sequential speed of a single large block?

I’ve used the same software as you did in your previous SSD posts (ATTO, yes?), and I think you’ll find that it only measures for transfer sizes between 0.5KiB and 8196KiB – the 2GiB setting is just the total size that the measurements will add up to, ie the number of measurements to take. I don’t think it’s likely to be offering an accurate measurement of sequential speed.
