Pitne Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 My new CSSD-F120GB2 seems to be under performing. I am comparing my benchmark results with others that I've read in reviews. It's also my c:\ drive where windows 7 is installed. My motherboard is the "Big Bang-XPower" (http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=2064&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&cat3_no=645) It is plugged into one of the "6 SATA 3Gb/s (SATA1~6) ports by Intel® ICH10R" Other system specs include intel core i7 980x, 12gb of ddr3 1600, seasonic s12d 850watt, gtx 480 zotac amp I haven't tried using one of the "2 SATA 6Gb/s (SATA7~8) ports by Marvell® 88SE9128" but I will try soon. For the most part, this is the review I'm using to compare my benchmarks: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1338/4/ My ATTO Disk Benchmark http://imgur.com/bCCEl.jpg My AS SSD Benchmark http://imgur.com/XZGYe.jpg My CrystalDiskMark http://imgur.com/k0iXm.jpg My HD Tach Quick http://imgur.com/dQoMY.jpg My HD Tach Long http://imgur.com/OIbkn.jpg My Sisoft Sandra Physical Disks Benchmark http://imgur.com/xOj8X.jpg My ntfsinfo c: Version : 3.1 Number Sectors : 0x000000000df617ff Total Clusters : 0x0000000001bec2ff Free Clusters : 0x00000000010d9d95 Total Reserved : 0x00000000000007b0 Bytes Per Sector : 512 Bytes Per Cluster : 4096 Bytes Per FileRecord Segment : 1024 Clusters Per FileRecord Segment : 0 Mft Valid Data Length : 0x00000000052c0000 Mft Start Lcn : 0x00000000000c0000 Mft2 Start Lcn : 0x0000000000000002 Mft Zone Start : 0x00000000007e1220 Mft Zone End : 0x00000000007ed940 Do I need to format the drive a special way or something? When I installed Windows 7, I just clicked on the drive (it was reported as unpartitioned space at the time), then it created two partitions, a 100meg boot partition, and the rest for data. I didn't set any options for cluster size-do I need to do that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodalex Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 ATTO is looking good. No reasons for any worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heintz.G Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I would go with the ATTO readings as well. Good looking scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitne Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 I plugged it into one of the "2 SATA 6Gb/s (SATA7~8) ports by Marvell® 88SE9128" ports, using a sata 6 cable that came with the mobo, and the speeds went down a small amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Atto is only software that you can "trust" even a little(Speeds will move back and foward little, remember its there is OS in it), others not so much. Even if Corsair have them in trusted list on "SSD FAQ". Look other brands SSD with SF-controller and you may see the same, broduct own site show screen shot that arent so speedy, like those on review's. I plugged it into one of the "2 SATA 6Gb/s (SATA7~8) ports by Marvell® 88SE9128" ports, using a sata 6 cable that came with the mobo, and the speeds went down a small amount. that 1 SSD Speed isnt so fast that Sata 2 driver would go shame and SSD will lose some speed in time. My 3 F60 (Raid0) writes and reads 700mb+ in Sata 2! Edit:but if one driver can do like 400mb for its own, then Sata 2 lose on speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitne Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Oh ok gotcha. Im going to stick with using the Marvell controller because my computer keeps BSOD when I wake the computer up from sleep using the Intel controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Intel 9.x drivers do me that same or freeze pc. 8.6 or 8.9 seems to work fine have you tryed them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 5, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 5, 2010 I would suggest using Suspend to disk rather than suspend to Ram until the issue is resolved. And please re-size your images so they dont take up so much space or they will be deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
