Poradicus Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Corsair P128 starting to write slow and Windows Experience Index showing score 5.9. I'm not sure why it degraded fast. I am using Windows 7 64bit with TRIM Enabled and barely downloaded anything to the SSD. VBM19C1Q, is the latest Firmware on the drive. I have a 2nd and third drive where I put my downloads at. Anyone have any ideas of what could be causing this to be degraded soo fast? I only had the drive for 4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Test with ATTO, not WEI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 WEI=screendoors on a submarine....useless. run ATTO and post the results, thats the reliable way to check SSD performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poradicus Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Here is what Atto speeds read from what it read using the benchmark program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 YIKES!!! i would rule out the physical stuff, try a different sata cable first, then a different sata port on the board. if those do not help i would either RMA or wait until later today when RAM GUY will have other suggestions or simply approve an RMA. w********ers!!

E46Johnny Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Is the drive full of data. How much drive space is left. Have you used the drive for some movie editing ore other write heavy use. If so the nand cells is full of data and this is slowing your drive down. All the writing is now probably a read - modify - write proses and this is slowing your drive down. A HDD erase would reset the nand cells to factory fresh, But you must re install / re image your OS and aps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 with a disgusting 36Mb/s write speed and still a decent 5.9 on WEI kinda proves WEI is very misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poradicus Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Ok, I tested the SSD with ATTO again and now it is showing this below in the picture. I had to try another sata cable and plug in another port on motherboard. I'm not sure why it works better when pluging the drive in a different port or using a different cable; but the write and read speeds seem much better than before. And to answer E46Johnny Question. The drive space is 97.6 GB free and 21.6 used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
