PJani Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Recently(in past 3 days, i own this ssd for almost an year) i started to experience weird random system hangs/freezes. One time system even came out of sleep(dont ask me how and why) and displayed BSOD. I was watching something on yt and system hanged for 30seconds then most of programs running crashed. And then in windows explorer my system drive C: disappeared, the only thing left was to hard reset my laptop. There are no event logs in for this 30seconds. I left memtest running over night in 3 passes there was no errors. I done chkdsk with no errors. I have Win 7 on my primary drive(Corsair Force 3 60GB). O and i must not forget to say this SSD was previously in another older laptop(for 2months) with WinXP installed on it, but that was 9 months ago. It seems like i have same symptoms as this post http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=116075 Cheers, Jani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Update the SSD FW to 5.03 and see if that helps. Latest BIOS and drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJani Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I was looking for fw for my ssd in subform but i couldn't find any. BIOS is latest, drivers should be latest too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJani Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 how i haven't noticed that one i don't know. Anyway i will try upgrade fw and try to reset the drive with hdparam. Edit: I have another question...what is normal speed for this SDD drive? Because the maximal rw speed i get with ATTO is 300MB/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted March 4, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 4, 2013 If it's on an Intel SATA III port: Max Sequential R/W (ATTO)550 MB/s sequential read — 490 MB/s sequential write Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJani Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Interesting, i have my drive on Intel Sata 3. its HP motherboard with intel chipset(intel QM67 chipset family) and i get only tops 300MB/s rw. i tried secure earse my drive using hdparm --secure-erase NULL /dev/sdb from gparted, there was no return msgs or anything and the drive didn't erase nothing. i must knock on the wood, after firmware upgrade drive works fine(no freezes for 3 days), only i don't know what is with speed.

Administrators Technobeard Posted March 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2013 Are you testing with ATTO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Technobeard Posted March 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2013 Which laptop do you have? http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/performance-chipsets/mobile-chipset-qm67.html High-speed storage interface supporting up to 6 Gb/s transfer rate for improved data access. Provides up to six SATA ports at 3 Gb/s with up to two ports supporting 6 Gb/s transfer rates. I'm wondering if HP only enabled SATA II, not SATA III. Has this SSD (or another) ever tested faster than SATA II speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJani Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 I have HP Elitebook 8760w, with two drives. First is SSD in question, the second is Hitachi HTS727575A9E364 SIW says SSD is connected using Transfer speed ATA-600(SATA 3). Hitachi supports only SATA 2(as SIW states for this drive(ATA-300)). Both channels should support ATA-600. Hmm i haven't got any chance to test anything other than these two drives. Only SSD supports SATA 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted March 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2013 Try swapping SATA ports with the HDD to see if the system hangs / freezes stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
