Toasted Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 -If you haven't and don't use Hibernation you can also turn that off. Should free approx 4GB of space. CMD>powercfg -h off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2AWinter Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Yeah. I never have that on when windows 7 RC came out it would never reload the OS after hibernation. I turn off after doing a new install on any comp -but good tip did not know that used space 4GB even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2AWinter Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 one othere thing is bench testing my SSD once ever week a bad thing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoLmEr Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Filling you SSD with data you don't really need (ie test data) on a regular basis is not recommended at all. Once your drive reaches steady-state (all blocks have been written to at least once), the performance will be a tad lower until you Secure Erase the drive again. So, yes, it's a bad thing. You bench an SSD to ensure you're getting the performance you've paid for, or for troubleshooting purposes - not because you like to see pretty numbers.

D2AWinter Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 just a few othere things Ad-ware - ok to run once a week ? Disk Cleanup - ok to run once a week ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoLmEr Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Of course it's ok. Use your computer as you like. Scanning for adware and cleaning up your disk are normal maintenance operations. Your drive has efficient built-in algorithms for handling normal usage (and, the examples you gave are almost only read operations which doesn't impact performance whatsoever). Your SSD can handle heavy workload too, like benchmarking, but it takes longer to recover from that sort of workload, so by benchmarking a lot you're actually doing something counterproductive - namely, slowing down your disk down needlessly. Please don't be too concerned with whether the disk will survive - it will. But don't hammer it needlessly either. Then you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2AWinter Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thank you for the info just trying to make sure i dont do somthing to miss it up new to the SSD world :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malign Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 @ D2AWinter~i was wondering if it is because of the newer sb 950 you are getting that score because i am running the 890 fx and getting worse results and was also wondering if you were running your extra hdd in raid. maybe i am getting a lower wei 7.5 because it is a 90 GB running the others in raid 0. i am running the ssd in raid mode instead of achi mode because of my 2 hdd in raid and was wondering about that may have a reason i get lower write and read scores and also lower wei scorew of 7.5 i know most say wei score means nothing due to being a ssd instead of scoring for hdd. the only thing i have not done on the tweaks was stop the restore points and was wondering if that could be a factor?

Malign Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 everything is up to date as far as bios and chipset drivers from amd site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2AWinter Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 - i'm not sure on if that restore point is a factor or not but i would say no but again not sure - No my othere drives are just for space - if you are runing 2 HDDs in raid what are you useing the SSD for ? - try runing it in ACHI i had a 7.2 when runing in IDE i was hiting under 400 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malign Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 the 2 drives in raid are for any and all apps, and games that can be written to them where as the ssd is for operating system only and any drivers that can only be stored on main drive. quicker booting time and everything else on system disk runs alot faster with the ssd. i get twice the speed of the drives in raid. only getting 168 MB/s read and 164 MB/s write on raid drives. also dont have to worry about writting so much on the raid vrs ssd for performance wise. games are always d/ling and writting to the drive diff. map packs and such for the games i run. ill give it a try with switching it from raid to achi and see if that makes a difference. thanks for your reply.

Malign Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 yeah, the only way i could get it into ahci mode from raid mode is to maybe do a fresh intall? other than that i had no luck getting it into ahci mode at all . i tried doing this edit here: http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94426 the first ht key was already value at 0 but the second one was at value of 3. i changed that and restarted computer to find out that the login has failed. i am actually running my user account off of my raid 0 as well. could also be a reason it wont work for me.
