This is how my V4 is running must have been 8 months since I bought it now, and I have 48GB free.

It's been a solid and reliable SSD so far.

Did you ever try running it on the iaStor port?

I don't think I did Gary, but no time to do it now, I am stripping the rig down first thing in the morning, switching to Sandy E for a few months next week then Haswell if it's any good

That may be fun for bragging purposes but has little meaning in real life.

I have heard of this "Real Life"...

Question for all you smart guys and gals. There is a new IRST driver. I have a vague memory of having installed one at some point. If I am using the iaStorA driver, then I must have correct? Any opinions on updating?

Bill, some smarter people might respond soon but to me that is the latest IRST driver from intel. Most motherboards have a version specific version for their respective boards.

Thanks Doug, my MB is "older" now, so the driver on their support page is V10.5.0.1026 from 6/11. I currently have 11.6.0.1030 from 9/12. I don't think they continue to offer any newer, for good or bad.

Bill, I find that when you get a certain Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver that is bug free with your hardware that it is best to stick with that one. I just read the release notes and it doesn't do anything ground breaking in my opinion. I looked on the Asus Sabertooth download page and the current version on there is 11.1.0.1006 and that is what I'm running and have no problems with it.

Of course, you could always be a guinea pig and give it a try!

Yeah, I'm generally in the "if it aint broke" camp. I recently updated 2 drivers that the BSOD team thought could be an issue though. I guess I'll leave well enough alone.

Thanks guys

Okay so I tried it here are the results



This is a run before


the driver is actually current, my older version from my motherboard site was two years older.:). My score didn't jump much, but it is higher.

Your 4k writes jumped quite a bit, interesting. Thanks for trying

I had to, once Kelly threw out the be a guinea pig, I bit like a fish on a worm
