ttorski Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hi Just got me new P128 SSD, can you tell me why my numbers are so low? I connected SSD to my PC as secondary HD (just for now) and I`m running vista 32 on 2x 74GB raptors BIOS is setup to RAID, P128 was formated using 32k (ssd is empty) http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/1428/39534070.jpghttp://img43.imageshack.us/img43/39534070.jpg/1/w840.png http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/1781/65451526.jpghttp://img38.imageshack.us/img38/65451526.jpg/1/w840.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasy Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 That almost looks like you're maxing out a sata 1 controller. I'm not familiar with your board, but I would double check that you're running at sata 2 rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 22, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 22, 2009 The performance will be a bit lower if this is the Boot drive for the system and I would suggest running ATTO or Crystal Disk Bench. And how did you prepare the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how did you prepare the drive? for now this is not a boot drive, I`ll install windows 7 on it this weekend, my boot up is 2 raptors in RAID 0 I didnt do any preperation of this SSD, I formated under vista (I did full format didnt know is not good for it) and thats all any advices?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 22, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 22, 2009 You should run HDD Erase if you did a full format and then re-format with Quick and 32k Clusters and then test it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 22, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 22, 2009 Search for Gparted there is several threads posted by other users who have done these steps and restored thier drives. There is one post By Steele which is using Terabyte and looks to hold some promise but it has not been tested by us. And the post by IanJackson How to Restore Corsair SSD performance WITHOUT using HDDErase either of these should help you restore the performance.

ttorski Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 ok so after all this I put my P128 as a boot drive and installed new windows 7 x 64 after, I ran HD test and I was getting same numbers as before - 169mb/s then after working about 15min in windows, SSD finaly gave up and crashed the system, now I can even see P128 in the BIOS - RIP P128?
