karndog Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Running a X32 on windows XP Pro 32 and keep getting contradicting answers on the subject. From the FAQ Q: What about services or programs in my operating system such as indexing, pre-fetching, write-caching, defrag etc? A: Corsair SSDs require no maintenance programs or operating system tweaks From thread "Should i enable Vista "write cache" for P256" RAMGUY posts Write cache should be disabled for SSD drives. Legend writes With any drives that have onboard cache, regardless if ran in a non-raid or raid configuration enabling "write cache" is recommended. In non-raid configurations Vista and Windows 7 will have this feature enabled by default if the drive has on board cache. please this is getting confusing can i get an answer from RAMGUY as to why write cache should/shouldnt be enabled on XP? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 14, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 14, 2009 Just use the default settings and we are saying the same thing just from different perspectives. IE just use the default settings. Write cache will be enabled by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karndog Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Cool thanks for clearing that up for me RAM GUY :) BTW im really happy with the performance of my new drive, it really is a noticable upgrade. Im glad i chose to buy a SSD instead of upgrading my e6400 @ 3.2 ghz for a e7500 (which i hoped to OC to ~4 ghz) because i know theres no way i wouldve seen this kind of gain with only more clockspeed. The Windows screen alone loads up with 2 and a half passes of the progress bar, compared to the 9 or 10 it used to take with my Raptor. Then once im in, everything in my toolbar pops up almost instantly. Im hooked! i wanna buy another X32 now just to put in RAID :D Oh and the support on this forum has been great too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
