Show Us Your WEI [4]

Double checked everything and all is still the same settings.

In the BIOS, under Advanced tab:

OnChip SATA Channel - Enabled

SATA Port 1 - Port 4 - AHCI

SATA Port 5 - Port 6 - AHCI

S.M.A.R.T Status Check - Enabled


SATA ESP on all Ports - Disabled

I don't think switching ports will make a differance as they are set the same, am I wrong ?

Any other ideas or is this a not so good drive to begin with ?

Doesn't show how much life it has left in it, but the Samsung 830's are hard to kill! Pretty sure the 840 Pro will be as well.

If not more so. I certainly do not consider my four month old 840 Pro to be a mere paperweight!

Sorry, I meant no disrespect toward you or your SSD.

Please don't cry! I know you were kidding and I was just kidding back.

Truth be told, my 840 Pro is too light to serve as a decent paperweight.

If mine does not get its act together real soon, it will be a paper weight.
I'm seriously thinking I should just get the model you have anyway. If I remember correctly
when I first installed it, I was wondering what the big fuss was all about as I did not see any difference between the original HDD and the SSD speed wise.

I have no idea which drivers are installed. This is all the info. I could find.

Mayhap your SSD (Solid State Dog?) is out of alignment. check out this tutorial.

Thank's, I did that one when I first installed it and it was fine.
Watch how you refer to my mutt !

In post # 517 the choice to update the driver was greyed out.

Now checking in Device Manager, the option is there. Anyone think I should try to update the drivers or would this not make a difference ?

Maybe I should try uninstalling the drivers and see what Windows installs ?
