MrSomebody Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 If I wanted to re-install my OS and wanted to return my drive to "factory-fresh" performance, what would I have to do? Would deleting the partition and making a new one do that? This is for the 128gb ssd (90mb R/70mb W). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 17, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yes just delete the partition and then let Windows recreate and format the partition during the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribz Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Are you sure thats all there is to it? The SSD primer below seems to suggest a secure wipe is required. tribz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 17, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yes that is all there is to it and that link is about one of our competitors drives that was problematic and hard to configure so it has no relation to our products.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 17, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 17, 2009 Again that was about that drive not ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribz Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Again that was about that drive not ours. Which drive was that? I' dont think you read the article because the anandtech guy was using the intel utility to format an other manufacturers drives (see screen shot in article). The article refers to the SSD tech and not a particular brand. I'm concerned about the information that your giving out here, especially as I note in the write cache thread that you recommend that it be disabled despite the clear benchmarks later on that show it far better to have it enabled. I'm not trolling here btw. I have 2 corsair SSD's, corsair memory and corsair flash so I am a customer with some brand loyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 17, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 17, 2009 We would suggest Secure Erase/HDD Erase 3.3 as the recommended method to restore the drive back to its original factory state. Or format the drive so it is ready for a fresh install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
