SSD Speed Test on MBP 13" Kingston HyperX 120GB

Whats up guys/gals?
First of all i just picked up my first MBP 13" from the Apple store on 9/11/13
In those few days ive done a few things.
First i removed the HDD and installed my Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD that was previously in my desktop.
I also removed the optical drive, Installed the stock 500GB drive in a Data Doubler.
Its boothing quite fast and its nice to have all this extra storage, however,
on "Disk Speed Test" im only showing 140MB/s write & 410MB/s read.
I have not done anything with system settings after installing this drive. Do i need to enable TRIM? Is it ok to sleep the MBP (close the lid) on the SSD?
The speeds seem a bit slow for a SSD. Is there anything i am missing?
Here are some photos.

Have you tried running the extended version of the Apple Hardware test? You could have something like a thermal sensor that isn't working properly and your fan never gets the signal to increase speed.
Hopefully you are under warranty and can get this fixed for free. It would be prudent to find out what's wrong and get it fixed even if you have to pay--it should not be a very expensive repair.
Good luck!

SSD Speed Test

Hi - I just installed this Samsung 850 Pro 512GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD into my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 (running Maverick-10.9.5) and am getting 256MB/s (write) 268.0MB/s (read), when I should be getting "up to 550 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 520MB/s respectively". TRIM is enabled. Speed tested with Blackmagic design Disk Speed Test utility. Why is the discrepency? What about the following sentence (which I'm not sure I understand) "sequential read and write performance up to 550 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 520MB/s respectively". I'd appreciate a reply. I'm not a techie. Simple instructions would be appreciated. Thank you.

I am going to disappoint you, It cannot be altered to SATA3. SATA 3 was introduced with the early 2011 MBPs for HDDs and for the HDD and DVD connections with the late 2011 MBPs.
Ciao.

Hello, i just installed a vertex 2e 90gb ssd in my macbook pro 13" (8.1 early 2011). But when i do a disk speed test i only get 125 mb/s write speed and 146 mb/s read speed.

Hello, i just installed a vertex 2e 90gb ssd in my macbook pro 13" (8.1 early 2011). But when i do a disk speed test i only get 125 mb/s write speed and 146 mb/s read speed. Thats under 50% of what i should get. The disk have firmware 1.35 and 3 gb/s linkspeed when i check in systemreport.
Anyone know why i get so low speed from my ssd?

Speak to the manufacturer. They did the bench tests.

Line speed at 4.3 MBPS speed test at 100 KBPS

The following is an account of what lead up to the problem I currently in a hope this presents a clear fix to the problem.
On Tuesday the 17th of September the landline telephone stopped working and the speed of the Internet dropped form the normal speed test of 2MBPS to around 100kps (variable but not by much). After doing basic tests on the network and phones and because of the present problem with the phone as well as the Internet (although why it remained up just very slow is unknown to me) I thought it must be a problem that openreach had to deal with
narually an openreach engineer was phoned and he arrived on Friday 21st and tested the line; no fault was found in the phone line (this had mysteriously fixed it self) and the speed tested at the line was 4.3 MBPS this was higher then i normally receive so it surprised me after I did a speed test speed remained at 100KBPS. Since there was no fault on the line (currently) the openreach engineer went home. and i began touble shooting the network.
Network lay out
line > bt home hub (modem > switch) > business firewall > switch1(connected to PC1)> swtich2(connected to PC2,PC3,PC4,network drive)
after checking the whole network the fault was at the modem, after testing the modems internal switch there is no loss of speed at the modems switch.
Modem clams line speed is 4MBPS
speed test 100KBPS
the hub maybe at fault i have already reset many times
Solved!

Blast speed is currently 2 Mbps/9 Mbps on the Comcast Speed Test. Help please!

I've had the Blast service for quite some time, and have noticed painfully slow internet browsing for the last couple of months. I mean...pull-my-hair-out-slow. I just did a Comcast speed test and the results were 2.31 Mpbs and 9.01 Mpbs. Um....that would explain things. But not really... as I'd love to see the speeds I'm supposed to have. Even double digits would be nice! I'm trying to run ShaperProbe but I get the error "Servers are busy. Try again later." I've tried a few times. I'll post the results if I can get the scan to work.

I have not contacted tech support yet, although that may be faster?? We'll see. Thanks in advance for any help!

ShaperProbe has not been usable for some time, unfortunately. Check to see if Comcast is reporting an outage for your area by logging in to https://customer.xfinity.com/Secure/MyServices/ or by checking the voice response system at 1-800-Comcast.
If no outage is reported, see Connection Troubleshooting Tips. If you want to troubleshoot this yourself and still need help, please provide Information Requested for Connection-Related Posts.
If you are using Wifi it's best to switch to an Ethernet connection if possible while measuring speed and checking the reliability of your connection to Comcast.
If you'd rather have them do the troubleshooting call them at the phone number on your bill or 1-800-Comcast and have them send a tech out to identify the cause and correct it.
If the tech finds bad coax, splitters, amplifiers, or connections in your home (even if Comcast originally supplied them) you'll probably have to pay for the visit unless you have their Service Protection Plan (http://www.xfinity.com/spp/, about $5/mo). If the trouble is due to a faulty Comcast modem, eMTA, gateway device, or anything outside your home, you shouldn't be charged.

Kingston Hyperx & Neo2 problem!

KHX3200AK2/1GR Kingston HyperX pc3200 ram, dual channel kit 2x512mb
MSI Neo2 board with 1.4 official bios
0441RPBW 3500+ winchester -- stock speeds
Of course when first building new system I stuck both modules into dimms 1&2 for dual channel. Didn't work, dlink LED says bad memory or user installed error. I pull out the second stick and it then posts fine with 1 stick in dimm1. Install windows, etc and come back to the dual channel problem. Tried runnings sticks in: dimm1&2, dimm3&4, dimm1&3 none worked, all had same error as before and no post.
So I make note of which stick is which, we will say stick A is the one system booted fine with to begin with in dimm1....I tried taking it out and putting stick B in the same exact dimm1, and I got memory error on dlink. Tried running stick B in dimm3 and memory error again. Again tried dimm1&2, 3&4, 1&3 switching sticks A and B so that I hit every possible combination.
I pump up voltage to 2.6 (what the memory says it runs at), still no post. Bump to 2.7, still no post. Ram settings were all on auto, 2T to begin with so I try the listed spec from kingston (2-3-2-6) no post. I can get stick A to run fine at [auto] everything & 1T, or 2.5-3-3-8 & 1T (which I got from cpu-z). But stick B continually fails to post.
Ok....I figure DOA stick, so I try one last test by putting stick B in a Dell we have and it boots up just fine (333mhz limited by chipset). Ran memtest86+ for 15 passes and 0 errors before stopping. I tried running memtest86+ on the winchester machine but it doesnt work, lack of cpu support? So I take stick B back to my computer, set the max dram speed to 333 (since it ran at that on dell) and try just the single stick B again, fails to post in dimm1 or dimm3.
Now I move to different bios...
1.5X = stick B wont post
1.51 = stick B wont post
1.41 = stick B wont post
I've also got a generic 512mb stick that will run the system fine in any dimm slot by itself.
Cliff notes: stick A works fine with system in any single channel slot, stick B wont post even in same dimm the 1st would post in or any other single/dual channel combination. But stick B runs fine by itself in a Dell now so not DOA! What to do?

None of those threads have much to do with my problem :(
I already know these run at 2.5-3-3-8 timings instead of advertised 2-3-2-6, but changing the timings has had no affect on stick B working in this computer. Neither has the voltage.
I just want dual channel, ddr400 speed, whatever latencies, and 1T. I don't see how it could be the cpu's memory controller, or the motherboard since one stick works fine in slots the other *MATCHED* stick doesn't! Time to overnight advance RMA me a new pair.

SSD Speed

Just wondered how much faster (if at all) the speed difference is between the SSD in the latest model iMac and latest model Mac Pro. Can someone test a Mac Pro with the Black Magic Design Speed Test? I got 727.5R/661.9W with an iMac.

SATA Express meets the '09 MacPro - Bootable NGFF PCIE SSD ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 ... Last Page)
nMP uses a 4x slot PCIe and gets in excess of 1.2GB - the above are using old MP with new PCIe-SSDs.
MBP and iMac uses slower PCIe with fewer lanes.

P45 Platinum + Kingston HyperX KHX8500D2K2/2G Problem

Hi!
I bought a P45 Platinum + Kingston HyperX KHX8500D2K2/2G Memory Kit + CPU Intel E8400 Duo Core. I can't get my system running at 1066Mhz. I upgraded bios to version 1.2 but it still doesn't work. I set many configs but windows xp does not boot or the machine keeps rebooting.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I have the same set of memory modules. The proper settings for DDR2-1066 clock speed vary between BIOS Version [after all DDR2-1066 for these modules is a double overclock: memory controller beyond specs and memory chips beyond specs]. I never had problems to get both of these sticks to POST in Dual Channel mode on this board. DDR2-1066 can be tricky with some BIOS Versions but DDR2-800 has to be possible at all times with all Versions (at least, that never was a problem in my case).
The Bottom line is: If you can't get your system to get through POST @DDR2-800 MHz with both modules in dual channel configuration, one of the follwing explanation to come to mind:
- short circuit within the case affecting one of the memory slots [test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface]
- defective memory slot [if you have tested in Slot 1 & 3, try Slot 2 & 4 and see if anything changes]
- faulty modules [maybe one of them [did all 10 memtest tests pass on each module without errors?]
- faulty mainboard
Quote
I would like both sticks working together at 1066Mhz. Is this possible?
It should be possible, yes.

From Comcast to FIOS with speed test documentary

Below is a link to a Youtube video made by me recently. It is a documentary of switching from Comcast to Verizon FIOS in the month of August 2011. It included installation details and speed tests.
Comcast speed test was done on a 25 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up.
FIOS speed test was done on a 35 Mbps down and 35 Mbps up.

HP Elitebook 2530p RAM - Kingston HyperX low latency -- not compatible?

Hello, I would be grateful for help! I tried to install the following RAM in two different 2530p Elitebook:
Kingston HyperX --- KHX6400S2ULK2/4G --- These are two moduls, each 2Gb.
I tried it out with only one of 2Gb or both of them, but the notebooks did not boot. Both tested HP 2530p motherboards are model 30E1, version F12, Intel chipset GS45, revision 7. -- One has SL9600 processor, one has SL9400 processor. The operating system is Win XP Prof SP3 / 32-bit.
This is DDR2-6400 RAM with similar specifications to the original RAM (which works fine), but ULTRA LOW LATENCY.
>>>> QUESTION: Is there any compatibility problem known with ultra low latency RAM and HP 2530p?
>>>> OR is the problem that I am using a 32-bit operating system? And this is ONLY for 64-bit OP?
KHX6400S2ULK2/4G
4GB (2GB 256M x 64-Bit x 2 pcs.)

Thanks a lot, I will try to help with other issues I already experienced, now we have three 2530p in my family.
Christian

After reading over the unofficial guide more carefully, i cam accross a link to kingston homepage about a related issue with the KHX3200/xxx modules: http://www.kingston.com/support/faqs/memory/intel_3.asp
This has led me to believe that the KHX3200UL/xxx modules will infact not work, as they are more vigerous than the KHX3200/xxx modules. According to the second solution of that link, i have purchased 2x KHX3200A/512 modules (same ram with slower timings) which, according to kingston, should work with i865 boards. Is anyone able to confirm this?
Thank you again

Slow Speed Tests

Hay everyone I have an AirPort extreeme located in my front room about 15 feet from my bedroom. In the bedroom I have an iMac 27" mid-2011 model. I have been running speed tests from speedtest.net and have been getting very slow download rates, any where betwee 1.4 and 5.0 mbps. I pay for a 25 mbps speed. I have full signal strength everywhere in the house the speed is just terrible. Does anyone know how I can increses the speed of that computer. I have changed the channel to one that is not used as much in my area, as I looked at iStumbler. Also if I sit in the room next to the router I get 10 - 15 mbps. Any help would be amazing. Thanks.
PS I also have an AirPort express set to extend the network in the bedroom where I am having the slow speed.

I'm not able to provide a solution though I too find that the AE is not as fast as it is supposed to be. At one time I had a Belkin Wireless and an ADSL connection that topped out at 1.5MB/sec. Now I have a 50MB/sec internet connection and honestly, I have seen an increase in my speed over wireless but the Belkin really seemed quite zippy! I play World of Warcraft and I remember someone saying to me that AE or our Macs have Firewalls set-up that we don't know about or "something" that limits the speeds of the connections - which PCs and non-Apple products do not. Constantly see when downloading new patches from WOW, messages that I am behind a firewall - when I do not have firewall set on the AE nor on my Mac...

What is the best place to do an iphone speed test?

What is the best place to do an iphone speed test? I hear some sites are not so accurate.
I ask because i would always have speeds above 750 kbps but now im not getting more than 400kbps after i updated to 2.0.2 . I just wanna double check that my speeds actually did suddenly drop with the update.

I am not sure these numbers are good, but I did some tests on my phone with different settings. All bars full on both Wifi, 3G and Edge using Telia here in northern Sweden (using above site):
Wifi Download: 4.25 Mbps (4245 Kbps / 518 kB/s) transferred 2304 KB in 4.4 sec.
Wifi Upload: 0.9 Mbps (972 Kbps / 119 kB/s) transferred 512 KB in 4.31 sec.
3G Download: 1.17 Mbps (1177 Kbps / 143 kB/s) transferred 1280 KB in 8.9 sec.
3G Upload: 0.16 Mbps (156 Kbps / 19 kB/s) transferred 512 KB in 26.81 sec.
Edge Download: 0.2 Mbps (199 Kbps / 24 kB/s) transferred 256 KB in 10.5 sec.
Edge Upload: 0.06 Mbps (60 Kbps / 7 kB/s) transferred 256 KB in 34.8 sec.
Maybe the numbers would be different if there were a similar test site in Europe, as I often find any speed tests depends on the physical location of the test server.

Difference between Transceiver Statistics vs. Speed tests

We had been having problems with our DSL speed today. We discovered (obviously) that most of the problem was that my son was watching Netflix on our TV (through an app directly on the tv, not through a game console), which was sucking up most of our bandwidth.
But, while testing things out, we checked our Transceiver Statistics. We are getting about 3300 mbps download, but after running two different speed tests (speedtest.net and bandwidthplace.net), it seems we only ever really get about 1.5 - 1.6 mbps. This was after turning off the Netflix stream, by the way. This is basically our normal speed.
At any one time, we have 2 laptops and 2 Android phones connected to our network through a Beklin wireless router, as well as a desktop connected to the Belkin router through an ethernet cable. The tests have been consisten regardless of the number of computers running at the time, as long as they aren't doing anything with a real network load.
I don't think it's a problem with the router, because we can copy files between the computers at about 4 megabytes per second (36 megabits per second). Althought the WiFi connection says it's running at about 130 megabits per second. Maybe that's an issue with disk speed, I don't know...
Anyway, is there anything weird going on, or is it a symptom of outside network load that our speed tests are roughly half the value we see on the Transceiver Statistics for the modem?
Here is the full details from our Westell modem Transciver Statistics:
Transceiver Revision: 7.1.254

Go to Solution.

The transceiver stats only measure the speed of the connection between your DSL Modem/Router and the Central Office Equipment. You can get the full 3mbs downlink speed with losses a lot higher than 42db   I have seen it above 60db and still providing 3mbps.
However the link between your modem and the Central office is only small part of the total path between your computer and whatever internet site you are connecting too. Speed tests measure end to end, as opposed to only a small part of the message path. As a result speed tests almost always show lower performance than transceiver stats.
The best analogy is Verizon effectively only provides the on and off ramps to the Internet Superhighway. Just because the local ramp is clear is no assurance there aren't traffic jams elsewhere on the highway. The problem with most speed tests is you have no idea how your traffic was actually routed, and what constraints may be placed on it by parts of the network that Verizon has no control over.
The transceiver stats represent the best possible case. The reality is there is no shortage of issues upstream from the central office, either on, or off the Verizon network that can restrict your actual speed to considerably less than 3mbps. It is unlikely that your wiring inside the house is an issue, if it was, you would be seeing a downlink speed at less than 3mbps.
However your uplink speed seems slow. The nominal uplink for the 3mbps tier of DSL service is 768kbps, not 512kbps.

Difference between BT Broadband Speed Test and all...

I have recently moved to BT Broadband from TalkTalk as I was dissatisfied with the speeds that I was getting with my TalkTalk line – they were OK outside of peak time but woeful in peak time. With TalkTalk, I was on their ‘up to’ 8Mbps which, in practice, translated to about 6Mbps for download outside peak times but dropped to below 1 Mbps in peak (around 500Kbps and sometimes even lower!) – these measurements were taken regularly with both the TalkTalk and Think Broadband speed tests which were usually roughly in agreement and I haven’t had to rely on memory as I downloaded the spreadsheet records available to Think Broadband registered users.
I am now posting this in the hope that somebody can explain the difference between the BT Broadband Speed Checker (Here) and all the others available on the web.
When you are first connected to BT Broadband they warn you that your speeds will vary over the first ten days while they test your line to ascertain optimum speeds for it. During that time, I checked it every day early, mid-day and evening (usually around 0630, 1230 & 2000 hrs) with Think Broadband and, yes, it did vary – the first day it started at around 1Mbps for download but rose to 10Mbps by the end of the day. On the second day, it rose to a peak of 17.8Mbps which was unbelievably fast to use (well, to me anyway) but never reached that speed again as over the rest of the ‘test period’, the download speed dropped and dropped to the point where I am now outside of the BT test period and consistently seeing only 2 to 2.5Mbps over a 24 hour period.
I emphasise that those speeds were all recorded using Think Broadband but I am now doing tests using the BT checker mentioned above and the speeds which BT indicate for downloads are consistently in the 14 to 18 Mbps range. If I do the BT and TB test in quick succession, they generally show the BT calculated speed to be better than that of TB by a factor of around 7 (ie. TB at 2 Mbps whilst BT show 14Mbps). Now either they are measuring different things (or the sams things differently) or one of them is lying – all I know is that my general browsing experience is slower outside of peak times and I can tell by the time it takes to load pages.
I might have misunderstood something in these tests but I am now beginning to regret that I fell I for the BT sales pitch which promised me ‘up to’ 20 Mbps but ‘more likely’ 17 Mbps. I have tried to discuss thisl with BT Broadband technical support but they were no use whatsoever – indeed, I got the impression that he was reading from a script and as it didn’t cover my issue, I was wasting my time – it would also have helped for English to be his first language!
According to the BT test, I am well within their ‘minimum guaranteed access speed’ (Here). for my area (about 4Mbps) and therefore cannot do anything about it. BUT that is only when measured using the BT speed tester – with any other, I am well below. I am beginning to feel very conned and might even start looking to withdraw from BT if I cannot get this settled.
Can anybody help. I will happily post detailed records of my various tests or router stats if they will help.
Thanks in advance.

OK, I have now done all the tests etc. And here are the results:
