I am a (lucky) owner of the OCZ Core Series V2 and have been for some time however yesterday I benched the drive with AS SSD Benchmark and (as I imagine you would be too) I was worried by the random write perfromance of the drive. Let me explain:

1. I first bench the drive for sequential read and write;
Write: 30MB/s
Read: 150MB/s

2.I bench again to receive the following results;
Write:90MB/s
Read:150MB/s

When the SSD is benched I will get random write performance as I have shown however read remains the same (so it should).

I am asking if there is anyway to fix this poor and random performance I am receiving.

My 7200RPM HDD consistently gets;
Write: 58MB/s
Read: 59MB/s

If yours is the MLC it has the JMicron controller which has serious performance with writes. The JMicron controller is horrific.

Thanks for the reply Carbon .

Can I get the SSD replaced by one with an indilinx controller? (Under warranty still, I didn't agree to performance degradation when purchasing the Drive, shouldn't OCZ or Aria have to; by rights, replace the drive?)

The drive has degraded in performance is there any way to resolve this?

Performance degradation is just a fact of life on SSDs, it's just substantially worse on JMicron controllers. I seriously doubt you'll be able to get anything out of OCZ - yeah, it performs poorly, but it wasn't meant to perform any better. It's kind of a casualty of being the first off the lines with the SSD rush.

I would try to sell it and pick up an Agility of similar size - you won't have any stuttering problems, etc off the bat and you'll have TRIM support in 7 so even if the drive does degrade in performance substantially (and it won't compared to the one you have), TRIM will get it back to new.
