lol.. well.. let me tell you something Richard.. err wait.. you're name IS Richard, right?
I've personally helped more people with system related problems over at that particular forum(most of which was well before they offered me the opportunity to test their products).. and yes some of them...
if you hadn't read the last line in my above post.. it will likely help a bit more as well. Totally reversible and just for the sake of "seeing what's possible" when removing variables, is all.
I'd do it simply because that's how I test all systems with SSD upgrades.. but it look's damned...
Dannggg!.. I better sell all my SSD's made by them before I need to do an RMA, eh? :oops:
Because murphy's law will surely kick in when they go "tit's up" and all my R0 arrays will suddenly fail after years of trouble free service. :twisted:
And that source is SOOOO credible too! I just...
Couple of quick highlights.
1. It's a laptop which will never be as fast as a PC with it's larger architecture.
2. Additional power savings implemented at the bios level that cannot be completely overcome with software settings.
3. Compare to similar hardware to gain better perspectives on...
my responses in red
Speak for yourself and the other handful of hateful and resentful members around here. I personally hope they hang in there if only for the simple fact that it will really piss all you guys off if nothing else. :biggrin:
Plus.. I need more of their crappy drives to run...
lol.. that review is near worthless for those who know what the shortcomings of Sandforce controllers are and therefore know how to circumvent them.
They also obviously have no clue as the fact that even R0's will often write in lopsided fashion to one drive in the array more than the other...
I don't think anyone ever said that you CAN'T get 6G speed form a regular old sata cable... and there have been many tests before the posted link on the previous page that showed it is possible. Not to mention the ten's of thousands that do it daily.
The thing that many overlook.. or simply...
yep.. GAO already warned you about the potential outcome.
Although, I will say that if it's "significantly slower"?.. you may have another issue at play there. My 9128 chip is slower than the 3G Intel ports in small file performance and latency.. but certianly not by a mile.
Trim.. or no trim.. many have tried that on sandforce controlled drives.. and have consequently learned hard lessons about speed degradation and recovery related issues as a result of it too.
Granted.. he would have been better off just to do individual folders.. but it does come at a price...
there is no such thing that I know of since the enclosures bridge chip only needs host drivers... not software to allow such algorithms.
However.. when you buy an external enclosure.. you will get the bloatware that often accompanies it and they will have algorthms included thier that will...
Actually.. MOST Sandforce controlled drives CAN be brought back from the dead simply because the firmware has bricked the drive from corruption and an engineering flash is all that's required to do it. But they won't send the same drive back to you anyways for fear of reoccurance and further...
I think you may have misunderstood the above info/link. There is no "option" since it's literally built into ALL SSD firmware these days.
Some drives just have GC algorithms that are more aggressive than others, is all.
yep.. this happens a lot and sounds like Windows put the MBR on the other drive rather than the SSD.
Like ketchup already said.. if the install disc can't repair the install.. you will need to reinstall once more with ONLY the SSD drive in the machine. There are other ways to do it as well...
LOL.. really?.. and this is based on what data?
All you need do is stand in the stores and watch.. or even make small talk with people shopping for them. Picture size and clarity(usually in that order) is a guys number one priority.. and slimness would be for those women who care only about...
