MUGEN Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hello Today I decieded to upgrade the firmware and do a secure erase(Parted Magic 2013_02_28) on my 2 P256 ssd's. The write speeds have been very slow since I did a drive wipe free space in Ccleaner which I shouldn't of done. I did everything correctly but made one mistake and picked external erase write zeros to the drive and found my perfomance was still the same. I went back and did the correct Internal: Secure Erase and installed win 7 again but still got the same performance. The drives are setup in raid 0 and should be around 400mb for Read/Write speeds but are only 310/50. Write caching is turned off. Are my ssd's bad now or did I do something wrong? I only have one PC and I'm stuck with a fresh install until I can figure out how to fix this problem. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Enable write caching and see if the write speeds change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUGEN Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 I found the problem. After installing the intel chipset and raid drivers everything is back to normal speeds. The P256 was rated at 220/180 MB's(440/360 in raid 0) maximum read/write speeds and after 4.5 years it's still fast(437/341 write cache off) and reliable:biggrin: speed tests below 1. write cache and write back cache mode enabled 2. write cache disabled and cache mode disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
