issue

Hi,

 

I have a Force 240GB SSD installed in a Lenovo W510 since 3 weeks for now and since day one I have the following issues:

- During a cold boot, the drive is not recognized. Also, after coming out of standby or hibernation, a BSOD occurs. Since the forum is full similar messages I presume I have to wait until SandForce comes out with an updated firmware. I've already updated the firmware to 1.1a but as we know, this doesn't fix this problem. I desactivated hibernation/standby for now.

- Quite frequently (+- each 10 mins) the hard disk light lights up for about 1-2 minutes and completely freezes the machine. This issue on top of the first makes it quite impossible to use the drive on a daily basis.

I hope this can be addressed soon since I love the gain in speed of the SSD.

Any suggestions?

In my previous post I mentioned temporary freezes. Apparently this is caused by the Intel Rapid Storage Driver that asks the disk for LPM support and apparently the F240 doesn't support this which results in a drive lockup until a timeout occurs. The solution to this is to modify the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor\Parameters and setting the LPM parameter of each port subkey to 0. After a reboot no locks anymore. If one could still address the BSOD's after standby, hibernate though ...

We're working on getting it out. Please keep an eye on the SSD Firmware Update section.

There is no fix for the BSOD after standy/hibernate/TRIM, we can't do anything except not use those features for now and wait for the firmware release from SandForce.
