I installed a solid state drive on my laptop, but I don't get the blazing speeds which people write about.
My system:
- Laptop: Acer Aspire 7552G-6061
- Solid state drive: Crucial 256GB M4 CT256M4SSD2
- Operating system: Linux (Trisquel 5.5, a derivative of Ubuntu)
I am using AHCI.
I installed the operating system onto the solid state drive (as opposed to copying it).
How can I make the solid state drive faster? Could the problem be with the block or sector alignment?
