EONDERDI Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Using a Corsair Accelerator SSD as being the Cache Drive and a regular harddisk as Target Drive will a full virusscan -like MS Security Essentials- on my Target Drive influence / is bad for my Accelerator SSD?

Toasted Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 No, A virus scan is not bad for any SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EONDERDI Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 It's ok to know that any SSD can handle a full virusscan. . Note that a full virusscan opens all files on the target drive. - Although all files are opened they are not really used and don't have to be placed on the cache disk. -> In short is the Dataplex software -that uses statistics- not getting confused by that virusscan?

Toasted Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm not sure if it would affect Dataplex. But you can try a scan and see if it works normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 14, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 14, 2012 When dataPlex is running the Cache drive is transparent to the O.S. so running an application will not have direct access to the hardware, so during a scan for example the software may see the Cache drive if it were the HDD and not be aware that is was actually scanning the SSD cache DRIVE. At least that is the way I understand it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
