sblantipodi Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 As title, I have banned OCZ and I don't want to buy the Vertex 3 MAX IOPS but Force GT has some serious problem. http://www.storagereview.com/corsair_force_series_gt_review_120gb Is corsair working on a fix for this performance problem?

Yellowbeard Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Don't base your conclusion on a single review that there is a performance issue. Other reviews are showing very different results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblantipodi Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Other reviews uses only simple benchmark, nothing near the real life usage with a queue depth greater than 1. So I think that that reviews is more reliable than others. So what is the answer to my question? no, corsair is not working on a performance fix? or it will fix performance problem with queue depth greater than 1?

Synbios Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I disagree that is a serious problem, it is still one of the fastest SATA III drives and I would not believe one benchmark. Buy what you like in the current state, do not buy a drive with the hopes that a new firmware version will come out. Yes Corsair and SandForce produce firmware updates but they are surprises, the information describing what the firmwares will contain and their release dates is not available until it's actually available.

Yellowbeard Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Other reviews and our internal testing are showing very different results from that SINGLE review you quoted. There is no "performance problem" that we have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graimer Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Been running the drive for almost 2 weeks now, and no trouble with performance here. Running stable and super quick 24/7. And FYI, do notice that the max iops disk they are testing against is a 240gb. The bigger the capacity, the faster it works. So the test itself is useless. When testing ssd drives up against each other; use SAME capacity ssds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha22555 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I had some performance issues myself. What made it worse was the random hangs while doing simple tasks like surfing the net. Im pretty sure I have cured my issues my making some registry changes. I disabled LPM on the port that my drive is plugged in to. There are some instructions on how to do that if you do a quick search as long as your on the intel controller. Im not suggesting that you do that. Just saying after I did that all my problems seamed to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
