    A BIOS update supposedly improves the One's write speed to 15MBps.

    viewtopic.php?f=14&t=66&start=90

    The update can be downloaded from here:

    ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/a ... _110/bios/

    I will try this update and see if there is a significant increase in write speed. I'll first get benchmarking software so I can throughly compare read and write differences. Any suggestions?

    I put this in the Windows section as the SSD issue affects it the most and that most reputable benchmarking software are run on XP. :)

    Anyway I was very skeptical about the bios making the SSD go faster but I did the test anyway.

    Here it is below in the pics.

    As you can see the bios makes no difference at all.

    No differences here either. Should've read the changelog instead. :lol:

    ATTO numbers from above do show a slower rate. :(
