SSD Problems?
I have a Lenovo x201 running windows 7 64-bit SP1 with 8GB DDR3 Ram with a 256 GB Crucial C300 SSD installed. I did a clean install back in December and upgraded the firmware on the SSD to Crucial's version 06. I also performed many of lightninggltd's tweaks (disabled superfetch, boottrace, prefetcher, etc) after I installed. (thanks lightningltd!). Everything was running fine until recently. I have begun to get random shutdowns and freezes while idle. Each time it happens I have to use the power switch to re boot and each time I need to restart 2 or three times before it will recognize the HD and boot.
Performance is still great with the SSD. December and April shots below:
HD Tune: C300-CTFDDAA256MAG Benchmark
Transfer Rate Minimum : 234.1 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Maximum : 257.3 MB/sec
Transfer Rate Average : 236.6 MB/sec
Access Time : 0.2 ms
Burst Rate : 98.7 MB/sec
CPU Usage : -1.0%
Any ideas on what might be going on? Is there a good utility to test the health of my SSD?
