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?

Thanks
Roy
