According to this page, the Performance Restoration tool will: "first update the firmware, then scan and calibrate all existing data on the drive."
So should I do the update before the migration process (clean drive) or afterwards (with my OS and programs on it)?
I have a fair bit of technical knowledge but, compared to most of the active users on this forums, I'm definitely an SSD n00b.
Here's the story:
I installed a Samsung 470 four years ago as the boot drive
It's only 60 GB and it currently has 55 GB of stuff on it
I just purchased an 840...
That makes sense. And I've actually been boycotting AMD for years because of their connection to Ferrari (same goes for Shell, Puma, etc). It's funny how advertising can work against a company sometimes.
I've had a great experience dealing with ASUS, but unfortunately I've had the replacement for over a month and still haven't done the swap yet so they're starting to get a little impatient (I received an e-mail on Friday).

What course of action do you guys recommend? Should I try to make an exchange with the manufacturer (ASUS) instead? I've heard they have a...

I know this probably has nothing to do with my problem, but whenever I get this computer up and running again, I'm going to leave the paging file on the SSD just for peace of mind.
My replacement drive just died the same way as before but I was able to see the BSOD message as it went down.

I'm starting to wonder if these reliability issues are caused by my first-gen P67 motherboard. My SSD is connected to a SATA 3.0 port (which shouldn't be...
