justin2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 hi, just wanted to ask a couple of things about corsair solid state drives i have looked on your forums and found some conflicting answers to my questions so i thought i would ask. any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated. 1.i am running windows xp pro i know it does not support ssd drives well as it is an older operating system but without changing the operating system are there any defrag programs or maintenance programs that i could use with xp that would keep my corsair ssd drive running well? 2. i currently have 2 corsair CMFSSD-128GBG1D running in raid 0 i know these are first generation and are slow compared to the new ones out but they do work well though sometimes when loading games they seem to lag a little, do you know did they update the firmware and do you have any new firmware or are they all the same factory firmware with no updates available? 3. finally 2 random questions was this SSD drive ever made (CMFSSD-256GBG1D) for the S series or was the highest available 128gb before the P series came out? and i've heard different things about defragging solid state drives can you just tell me is it true using a defrag program can have the opposite effect to an SSD drive slow it down and perhaps eventually even break it. okay that's it. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 1. Short of wiping the drives, nothing Corsair approved. 2. There is not update for the stock firmware. 3. Do not defrag an SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
