I couldn’t help laughing when I heard that brand name Strontium, which means something like ‘Shitty’ in Dutch…

In reply to Eric. Significantly yes...but at the trade off of no power efficiency and, for overclockers, a few other temperature concerns which dont apply at all to the common user.

In reply to Les@TheSSDReview. So does this mean that disabling power optimizations in BIOS can help boost SSD performance?

In reply to pcuser. Nice Find and very interesting. Although we have hummed and hawed and elected NOT to alter CPU settings as a trade off for better performance, we are actually considering following this model where it might accompany regular testing with a valid explanation. This seems to follow what we have done in our SSD Optimization Guide where the explanation and instruction is provided and the consumer is left to the final decision as to whether they would want to perform this Optimization.
