Strange, worse results with an SSD than with a HDD !
The results with HDD look very promising, but that might change with load.
Thank you for all the testing and results.

That surprised me too! When it comes to SDD is there a read/write speed that works better? Or maybe a setting in the bios? AHCI vs compatibility mode?? thx

I do not think it is the read/write speed, more likely it is caused by access time.

I always set it to AHCI and whenever possible disable serial-ata power saving.Or maybe a setting in the bios? AHCI vs compatibility mode?? thx

Interesting. I am going to try a different SSD and more memory in this laptop over the next week.

Why is there only a single core being reported for a I5-3210M ?
Have you disabled a core in the BIOS or is there an issue with the script ?
Are you reading all of the report or just the latency ?

AHCI was on already, let me check if there is any serial-ata power saving options.
I cannot find anything about snd modules in the bios? Otherwise I would disable them?
I have all the mutli threads per core and hyper threading turned off as well. Is that recommended?
