I have never seen a performance graph like this. Besides the slow average, the ups and downs are not normal. Maybe it is an alignment problem. Check the alignment (in msinfo32 > Components > Storage > Disks > Partition Starting Offset - for the first partition).

here is the info

I'm not sure what's going on here, but something is wrong. I will start looking for what would cause this. If I can find out I will let you know. This isn't normal at all.

i ran into some problems with my ps-100. so i rushed out and bought a new kingston ssdnow v series 64gb. it works well for me and since i've had it, it has been very stable and steady in its performance--not as fast read speeds as the ps-100 but consistently better write speeds. i'm sending the ps-100 to patriot for rma

because i rushed out and got this, i didn't do the necessary homework on it first. i found out after the fact that this is sata 1.5

but, as i stated, the performance has been stable and steady--no complaints.

after i was given the tech reference # from patriot, i was told in the email that the # would be valid for 30 days. so, i took the time to give the disk one last chance. on my daughter's computer, i imaged her vista installation and installed it on the ps-100. everything was very good (that was approx feb 22). i performed a bench on it this morning (atto) and the highest read speed i got was ~37000 . needless to say, i'm going to get started on the rma process over this weekend (after i find a replacement for this drive).

the kingston drive referenced in my previous post was purchased to replace the ps-100 for my windows 7 installation. as stated, flawless operation thus far.

when it's all said and done, looks like i'll be having a spare ssd laying around (the ps-100 once i get it back from patriot). i guess i'll put it to use on my xp machine in the garage... it's a little too expensive and small in storage size to be used as an external drive . oh well.

^^^ VERY VERY good whs. Thanks for sharing that. ^^^
