You're talking about slower writes, not slower reads, right? If it's slower writes, that can be from junk being in every block and needing to dig around / shift data on every write. Do you have a benchmark from prior and a benchmark result now to compare? See here for some related info: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6477/trim-raid0-ssd-arrays-work-with-intel-6series-motherboards-too To be sure, if you really really wanted, you can do a secure erase of the drives to get a blank slate where every block can be written. | ||

Research how to get "TRIM" to work in Windows 7 or 8 if you don't have it working currently. My Samsung SSD came with software to do that TRIM stuff on old computers where Windows can't do it by itself. There might be similar software for whatever SSD you have. If you use Linux, you probably have to set up a schedule for running a tool that does it. A typical SSD needs a good amount of free space on the drive for it to regain its normal speed through that TRIM stuff, something like 20%. | ||

I don't know if Intel opened up support later or not. | ||

As for anything, nothing should behave that poorly from just watching YouTube. Even if it that takes all available upload or download. YouTube shouldn't be destroying the connection like that. Hard reset the router and/or simply try a new one. | ||

On any quality setting, it seems to wait, idle for a bunch of time.. and then download like the next 30 seconds of video in 3 seconds, and for that time period internet just drops everywhere else. On a 720p video it's like 2k ping and packet loss showing up for 5-10 seconds a couple times a minute It kind-of did the same thing a little on old router, but there was no good connection aside from wired, now this one has decent wireless people from a few rooms away can pull 700kb/s and everything else deaths Will need to deal with this at some point soon.. maybe need help because i'm completely lost. I guess this is a seperate issue :D ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/nSdZT7s.png) Continually amazed by uk internet. *turns router off and on again* | ||

Or at least try it out to see what difference that makes. The people on wireless can pull 700 kb/s and this is destroying everything? I hope you actually mean kilobytes and not kilobits. What's the connection rated for, and how much can you get on SpeedTest with nobody else on? | ||

I hope you actually mean kilobytes and not kilobits. What's the connection rated for, and how much can you get on SpeedTest with nobody else on? yea, KB. Forgot to capitalize. It's 8mbit down 1mb up, so in practice now, ~5.5mbit down, 0.6 up. Usually ~40 ping, 1ms jitter 0 packet loss. Kind of went to hell recently | ||

For instance, my last QoS usage basically involved specifying a port (and maybe IP?) and saying "traffic through here gets high/normal/low" priority. You could sniff out port usage on things like XSplit via netstat. In your case you'd probably be setting traffic through 80/443 as low across all IPs and your gaming ports as high. But as I recall that was an unusual implementation. I'm not sure if there's a way to prioritize by domain to do something like throttle YouTube but not regular browsing. I'd really have to play with your router's QoS and see. I had some success with my QoS, but it really doesn't cope with full usage load. Ideally with QoS you're pushing all the "high priority" traffic to the front of the line and making everything else "wait," but for whatever reason consumer QoS handles this very poorly. Likely the only real success you're going to get is for users to be self-limiting their usage, especially when it comes to upload. Asymmetrical connections like to treat 1% of maximum upload speed as equivalent to 1% of maximum download speed. In your case, that means 1kb up = 8kb down. YMMV. I think TCP is supposed to have an overhead of like 10%? Netlimiter works pretty well for specifying a rate cap across a computer's traffic, but it has to be installed and a limit set on each user's PC. It's not free, but it's pretty easy to find. The downside is you're probably going to end up either wasting bandwidth or having to lower each PC to a lower threshold than acceptable for normal usage (depending on how many devices you want to hook up and allow simultaneous usage); I don't think there's a way to set up a centralized, dynamic configuration. Also your story of YouTube's loading in chunks sounds like DASH's doing, but I don't think DASH is enabled for 720p (only 1080p), so I'm not sure. | ||

It loads like 20% of the video and then stops completely and waits til you reach that point, sometimes stopping for like 3-10 seconds before starting to download more at max DL rate | ||

I have an i5 2320 (locked at 3 ghz), 8gb ram, ati 6770. I have spare parts lying around to make a 2nd pc, but missing a motherboard. I'm thinking of getting a new mobo (using an intel DH61WW atm) and using my old one with the 2nd pc. From what I understand, the cheaper a motherboard is the less features it'll have (extra slots and whatnot), so since I can't OC and I don't need many slots, I should aim for one around 100 bucks right? Maybe like http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157303 | ||
