SystemBuild Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hi, Re - Extreme Series 32gig SSD Performance on Windows XP I apologize in advance if this subject matter has already been answered elsewhere or that my following comments may seem somewhat provocative. I am a little frustrated with diminishing performance on my Extreme Series 32GIG SSD. Please, there are vast numbers of us using your SSD's in Windows XP systems and need a way to clean up (TRIM) the drives and to keep them running fast and smooth. I still don't see any Corsair authored management tools on your site to help me here. Questions: 1 - Do you have a set of utilities I can use to manage my X32 SSD. 2 - Is there something like a "wiper" I can schedule each night to clean up the drive. 3 - Is there a complete paper that describes all steps for preparation / configuration and use in a Win XP system. I just took my X32 out of service after 6 months of use because it degraded so much. I don't have the time or the inclination to rehab the drive every 3-6 months, (flash the firmware, erase/reimage, etc) especially given it's in a remote data center. I am very enthusiastic about your products, but, seems to need constant attention to keep the drives running smoothly. I am not trying to sound harsh, it's just frustration. Can you help me please. Very much appreciate your response in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Just curious, why are you using XP in a data center on a non-enterprise storage device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'm guessing he's just running it in a colo for simple server purposes. Mine is in an academic environment, not really enterprise but still need close to 100% uptime regardless. Does Corsair offer any enterprise SSD solutions? I didn't see any on the website and when I was browsing I wanted a Corsair drive at the time, it seemed like the Force was the fastest so I figured it was top of the line. aside: does Corsair have any 8 GB DDR3 modules? preferably 1333Mhz. the RAM section is so hard to navigate, there are too many product lines and it's confusing.

Wired Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Personally I'd rather get two smaller / cheaper HDDs for the same cost and slap them into RAID 1. They don't make any enterprise drives. The Memory Finder should make it pretty easy. They don't make 8 GB single modules, but they do make 8 GB kits.

Good idea about the RAID array, I should probably just do that than bother with SSDs, thanks. I didn't see the memory finder before but I'm kinda bummed they don't have 8GB single modules.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 24, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 24, 2010 There are only a few MB chipsets that would see that high of density memory module but if they were available at this time the cost would be 1000-1600+ USD per module right now. I don't think the masses would be willing to pay that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
