Splash4004 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Like the title says. I experience 1 second shuttering in usage,especially in Fps games wich is very very anoying to say at least. Can this be fixed or it's hopeless with the "excellent" Jmicron controller? Edit: Ahci mode enabled, all tweaks done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 5, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have not experienced any shuddering with the R-60, how full is the drive and how is the system configured? Do you have another HDD in the system for Data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash4004 Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 SSD has about 6gb free space. It's used only for windows and some games. I have a Hdd for data storage. If there is any more info i can give don't hesitate to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 6, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 6, 2010 I would un-install the games and then re-install them on your Data drive, with some games you can just copy the folder they reside in and change the path in the links on your desktop. The see if that help the issue. But I would suggest a minimum of about 30% free space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash4004 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Why would i want to move the games to my storage Hdd ? So they start slow? I bought a ssd to speed up aplications and games. Also, not using 18Gb, 30% of the SSD's capacity, will solve what? I will try to reinstall windows but i think it will not solve anything. Did an Atto test and it seems the performance is ok with the 6gb of free space. In tests the SSD does well, in daily use , not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash4004 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Formated the drive and installed new W7 and done all the tweaks recomended in the stickyes. Same problem in games, especially if the SSD is being written while i play (recording a demo while playing CS). From 5 to 5 seconds there is 1 sec of shuddering. I think it's the old problem with the Jmicron controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewho Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 i had the same problem using a drive with a Jmicron controller, gave up on it in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash4004 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Also the speeds in test do not look good at all. Mind you, the SSd has W7 and a game on it. Alson Hd-tune access time of 0.2ms. :mad: :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 8, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 8, 2010 Please run Parted Magic and secure erase the drive the reinstall/image the drive and test its performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash4004 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Finnally had time to do a secure erase .I used the steps and programs from the sticky. Atto looks worse than before. Copying a game on SSD as i write this to test the shuddering. Doesn't look promising tough. Multitasking is slow as hell while writing on SSD. I will let TRIM do it's job to see if any improvements can be seen. Edit: Dunno what happened. It's even worse now. Shuddering appears more often and it lasts longer .

Splash4004 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 No feedback? Trying to determine if the drive is faulty or i'm doing something wrong. Another problem i experienced is that while the SSD is written the other applications hang allot. Sometimes opening a browser takes 15 seconds if i write something on the ssd. Disapointing.

Yellowbeard Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 What controller driver are you using for the SATA controller? Are you using the MSAHCI driver or the AMD driver? Also, are you in AHCI mode or IDE mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash4004 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm using Intel 6.1.7600.16385 drivers. AHCI mode. See Attached screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 :confused: You are using an Intel driver on an AMD controller :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Go farther down your list under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers. Your disk controller is the Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller. See what driver it is using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash4004 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 is the driver under AHCI 1.0 ATA controllers . I installed the latest chipsnet drivers for the MB from Asus site. I'd really appreciate any suggestion or maybe a link to the drivers i should use. Thank you.

Yellowbeard Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Go farther down your list under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers. Your disk controller is the Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller. See what driver it is using. Show this same screenshot and show me the driver properties for the Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller, NOT the disk driver properties as you have shown below.

Yellowbeard Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I understand man, I probably could have given better details also but we'll get there. My suggestion is to try the controller driver in the latest AMD Catalyst drivers for your chipset. Some users have reported varying results using this driver and other SSDs. It may help, and it may not be as good as the msahci.sys you are currently using. But, it is a good starting point to try. Also, does your motherboard have a secondary SATA or eSATA controller? If it does, try temporarily disabling it and see if the results change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash4004 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Update: I've browsed allot on the AMD forums and read threads about controllers and SSD's. Everyone says that there is no reason to use AMd controllers as the Intel ones work fine. In addition to the slow performance of the ssd, it has started to behave like all others on forum: not seen by bios on cold start. I have to go under my desk and unplug the power in order to make it work. The shuddering remains. :(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
