Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 20, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 20, 2010 You will need to use the latest version of Ghost for SSD's and when you make the image make sure Raw Data is selected if it copies cluster information the performance will be degraded. And I would suggest using Parted magic to secure erase the drive then with it installed as a second HDD quick format it with 4K allocation and test it with ATTO.

Yellowbeard Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 You may also run a bit below specification if you are not running it in AHCI mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere on the forum that it is preferable to format with 32k allocation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I read somewhere on the forum that it is preferable to format with 32k allocation? No way, I always use 4K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 23, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 23, 2010 It depends on the O.S. but the drive will be aligned with 4K or 32K on the allocation. Normally with Windows 2000 or 2003 or XP: 4K allocation would be best and you can use 32k for Raid arrays or in Windows 7, but with Windows 7 you do not need to specify the allocation with SSD's as they will detect them properly and do the proper alignment.
