Hi!
At first - yes, I have read the wiki I have got installed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SS … ITY3_120GB SSD (but 240GB rather 120GB). /etc/fstab has options "defaults,noatime,discard", file system is ext4. All three standard IO schedulers were tried. Two problems take place:
1. All that tests give me results 1.5-2 times worser (in that order: 9800/222, 252, 241, 5.9).
2. Scheduling: on heavy IO (installing libreoffice, for example): say, firefox hangs (clicking on some href does nothing) on waiting for pacman session completion.
Where to dig in further? Or - how to workaround? Hey, linux-ck users, are you here?
But it would be better to stay on the official kernel

Not sure... is your setup SATA 3.0 Gb/s or SATA 6.0 Gb/s? What is your motherboard? If it is SATA 6.0 Gb/s, are you sure the SDD is connected to the faster controller? Many boards (like my P8Z77-V Pro) offer only a 2x SATA 6.0 Gb/s connections. Are you using a quality SATA 6.0 Gb/s rated cable?
Which I/O scheduler are you using? Note that the ck1 patchset deals mainly with CPU scheduling, not I/O scheduling.

graysky, thanks, the stream speed magic is resolved: I have looked in motherboard documentation and have discovered SATA controller is 3 Gb/s only.

As I have mentioned, I have tried all standard ones: cfq, noop and deadline with the same result. Yes, I have checked selected scheduler was selected

Yes, you did. Missed that.

OK! Did the numbers change? Usually, if two SSDs (same model) are offered in different capacities, the larger of the two is typically faster per the manufacture specs anyway.

Unfortunately all six SATA connectors are 3 Gbit/s.

There is a difference in my experience which likely accounts for the numbers you posted.
Summary on my OCZ_Vertex 4 (128 GB):
SATA 6.0 Gb/s vs. 3.0 Gb/s
Cached reads : 16,901 MB/s vs. 7,930 MB/s
dd writes 1 : 367 MB/s vs. 251 MB/s
dd writes 2 : 430 MB/s vs. 284 MB/s

Yes, it's close to my results.
