1. Marvell Sata Driver

Ok then So, what could I do to tweak it? I already made everything like not allowing windows do defrag, changing registry values, etc, etc. I'm not getting very good reads and writes. Is this a problem with GSATA3? What do you mean, specifically, by 'changing registry values'?

Disabling Prefetch and Superfetch, Clearpagefileatshutdown, largesystemcache and so on. Actually, system boot is very fast, apps booting fairly quickly (but sometimes not as much) but my CrystalDiskMark benchmark is not quite straight forward. Well, I know drives and tweaks won't do anything now. Marvell is not a good interface and I really plan getting a new mobo to match my ssd performance (as well as upgrading the entire build) I asked because I just wanted to see if anything could do a little better for the time I don't change my mobo. But yeah, it's a port 'issue' that can't be fixed by just doing some tweaks.

Anyway, my ssd is not performing bad, it's good if you don't consider some write speeds. It's just a bit frustrating because Gigabyte anounces it as being full SATA3 on ads (like at the box and the manual), but it is actually a Marvell controlled GSATA3. Also, if I change my mobo to one that supports a full SATA6Gb/s, I don't need to format the ssd and reinstall OS right? I'll just plug and have the expected performance?

So you bought Windows10? As oem or retail? I'm asking because oem is motherboard restrictive in activation but doable. Just a heads up that just changing the motherboard is not as simple. Retail is not a problem. Ah, well, I upgraded from Windows 7 in a old Hard Drive, then installed a SSD and a new HDD and activated it. I don't know if it's activated by my MAC Address or my Microsoft Account (anyone knows about this?).

But you're right, if I change my motherboard, maybe the activation will not work in a reinstall. Thinking in that way, should I really reinstall the system when I move to a new motherboard?

The general thought is that it is by the motherboard SN, and probably other info. Not your MS account or MAC address. So you bought Windows10? The best file archive utility for mac. As oem or retail?

Sorry for late reply. Whats going to happen now when you change the motherboard is its not going to activate online. Will need to ring the automated number and might need to get onto customer service and tell them your original motherboard died. Be nice and they might activate you. That's if your os is oem, you still haven't answered my question yet if Win10 is oem or retail.

Win10 upgrade will follow the same edition as the previous os. So if you bought Win7 retail, your Win10 will be retail and it wont matter if the motherboard is changed out. Reinstalling is best after a motherboard change. There are a lot of device drivers installed for the previous motherboard that wont agree with the new motherboard and the operating system wont be happy chappy either with all of those devices gone.

Your system wont be running very good at all.
