I Ordered OCZ 60 GB SSD from #primeabgb last week. They didn't had that in stock, so they listed corsair force3 for 6800/- and i told them its okay, so they sent me this one instead of ocz. They shipped this quickly, but I now believe that i got this product for an unfair price.

I have connected Corsair Force3 60GB SSD is to an intel DH61SA motherboard which supports only SATA 2. Processor is i3-2100, and there is 4GB RAM. Benchmark results are not that great, i suppose this is because of the compatibility mode(SATA3 on SATA2).

What speeds were you expecting?

I think above 200+MB/s is plenty from what you would be getting from SATA2 ports....

Please correct me...if I am wrong, but theoretically you can get a max of 300Mbps on the SATA2 bus,

but that dont happen practically.

Similar to the SATA3 being 600Mbps but one does get 600mbps but rather 500 odd.

I think your speeds are fine.

PS. I cant see the rest of your benches, as I am at work,

I am only judging by HD Tach Quick Bench.
