I have had the same error, I don't know why or what it means but when re-running AS SSD again it completed the run fine.

Any Windows 8.1 users here?

This is my second attempt to run AS SSD Benchmark I still get this error. This is after rebooting the system from the first attempt.

BTW this is with an OCZ Vertex 4, which is being replaced tomorrow by a Samsung 840 Pro.

Anyway can somebody help with the error.

Thanks

I installed a 960GB Crucial M500 over the Holidays. Here's a comparison of the M500 to the M4 it replaced (Crystal Disk Mark for both; AS SSD for the M500):

The M500 series looks like a really good performer Defender.

Thanks - I think I'll keep it.

I was looking at the Samsung, but the price of the Crucial was pretty good on Black Friday. Since I basically use the machine for home use and the occasional first person shooter, the performance advantage of the Samsung didn't justify the increased price.

You're right, the Samsungs are not that much difference for the price.
My 840Pro 265GB. Nearly the same in 4K Read/Wrote which is the number important to the OS. Sequential scores are for the marketing departments but, buyers are getting smarter and want the 4K numbers.

There is an interesting video about the Mushkin Chronos 240GB performance measurements on this Neweeg website.

Btw: This 240 GB (which is really a 256GB) SSD sells for $129,99 right now which is an excellent price. I paid $138 for it 3 months ago and thought it was a good price, lol.

Wolfgang, I don't think you'll miss the $8. LOL. But, that is a good price for it. I've heard they are very good drives.

Steve, not only are they good drives, but Mushkin stands behind their products,

I had a 2 year old 60GB Mushkin fail. Wrote a note to Mushkin and within 2 hours they agreed to replace it - which they did after I had mailed in the defunct drive.

I forgot to give an update on my dead Crucial M4.

I updated the firmware and it is working fine again. :)
