mosclofri Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hello, I am using two Corsair Force Le SSD drive which are 120GB and 240GB. I bought them 6 months ago, so they are not much old but now both of them working slower than my HDD while transferring data. Access times are seems fine. - I am sure they are working as SATA3 - My sata cables are fine - My both SSDs and motherboard using up to date firmware and BIOS - No S.M.A.R.T error is shown for both of them - Booted Linux live image (normally using Windows 10) to make sure that issue is not related with OS. Linux benchmark still same. - 120GB one has %77 free storage, 240GB one has %100 free storage (recently formatted entire disk). I am still suspicious because both of them having same problem. May there something that i am missing or it is time to rma? ATTO results can be found in attachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 For the 240 GB, did you format - or secure erase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosclofri Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 For the 240 GB, did you format - or secure erase? Formatted it with Window's builtin format tool without checking "Quick Format" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Secure erase the drive via Corsair's SSD toolbox or via Parted Magic and do another benchmark again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosclofri Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Secure erase the drive via Corsair's SSD toolbox or via Parted Magic and do another benchmark again. Tried using Corsair's SSD Toolbox but no change. Then I also tried "secure wipe" function that found in my Asus motherboard's BIOS, still no change.

Toasted Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Are you able to test the drives on another computer or a different SATA data port? Do you get the same results? Try secure erasing the drive with Parted Magic, If that does not resolve the issue, put in a support ticket with Corsair as its possible the drive may need to be replaced. https://corsair.secure.force.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosclofri Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Today I took the 240GB disk to work. We use MacBook Pros for work. So there are just some old PC's that i can put my SSD on. Anyway i tried with a computer but it uses SATA2 (couldn't find any which support SATA3) and I had to try with linux live image due to none of them have OS installed. Although it uses SATA2, it's still working faster than my home pc. Test results can be found in attachment. Can we say this "something bottleneck SSDs on my home pc"?

Toasted Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 You will want to check your SATA settings in the UEFI, make sure your chipset drivers are up to date, try a different SATA data cable, etc. Have you tried comparing the results with CDM as well?

mosclofri Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 So i found another PC with SATA 3 support. Seems like my SSDs are pretty fine. There is a clearly issue with my computer. My mobo is: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z170I-PRO-GAMING/ I am sure with these: - I have latest BIOS - My sata cables are fine - Installed latest drivers from Asus website. - Also this shouldn't be windows driver issue since i am having same results with Linux as well. So whats else might be the reason? Any suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 You will want to contact ASUS Support and see what they recommend now, it's possible there may be a problem with the motherboard. https://corsair.secure.force.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
