SSD Real Slow
Slow is how I describe the performance of my SSD. I've had this SSD for about a year and over the course of the last few days I wasn't quite sure what was going with my computer.
At first I was getting these random lockups which the only way to break it was to reset the PC. They first started when I came out of Sleep, then even after the desktop got loaded on a clean bootup, it would freeze too.
Event viewer didn't tell me anything other than I had an unexpected shut down. The latest mini dump is dated last year.
Everything takes so long to load, even booting up to the desktop takes longer. I used the sites Restart-Time utility.
Restart-Time Results October 2010 - 47 seconds
Restart-Time Results November 2011 - 110 seconds
I also had taken similar snap shots from the AS SSD Benchmark tool. I've posted the results which shows October 2010 vs November 2011.
Here are my system specs:
Alienware Aurora
OS - Windows 7 Professional (64bit)
CPU - Core i7 Extreme 975 @ 3.33GHz overclocked to 3.6 GHz
Motherboard - Alienware 0H869M
Memory - 12 GB DDR3 1333MHz
Video - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 1.8 GB RAM
Sound - Creative SB X-Fi Titanium
HD - OCZ Vertex 2 100GB SSD - Primary Drive, Western Digital 300GB SATA-II 3GB/X, 10,000 RPM, 16MB Cache - Secondary Drive
I'd appreciate your questions or recommendations what I can do to correct this situation.
Thanks,
Greg
