You're not having the best of luck this week are you mate
i'm glad i just read this thread though as i'm in the middle of running a backup ready to update the firmware on my Agility 4, I think i'll leave it for now lol
Edit: Quoted from the release notes
When i checked the firmware on mine a few days ago it showed an earlier firmware version but now it shows the newest 1.52. Proper odd and i know it's not me going mad as i've been putting it off for a week or so lol. Arwell atleast i don't have to piss about with it nowNote: After updating to v1.5.2, you cannot revert back to v1.5
I found out to my Dismay it's performing fine and with the numbers they said ATTO bench would do it more justice
I have posted the link and info I got about my SSD and pretty much it's on the money
here is a link SSD OCZ Agility III 120 GB Running Slow after Motherboard and CPU upgrade [Solved] - Hard Drives - Storage
Closest to the numbers I am having is read 199 and write 98 now should I go replace it or should I roll with it until it starts acting funky is the question
Also the same board as mine is the one there all having the issue with who knew
I'm still sorting out all the ssd setup requirements. Here's the report on my 840 pro on a GB990fxa board with AMD 8350.
This report is a $20 used Agility 3 I tossed on a 8 year old DFI board with a Athlon 64x2. I need to find out why it reports the pciide as bad. I'll get to it after the Dr's appointment if they let me come back home.
@Madcratebuilder the Samsung will perform because it's the best and uses a different controller /they said Marvel is better then Sandforce controllers and that is probably what the problem is
on my 8350 AMD rig this same OCZ Agility 3 scored a 7.9 md 7.8 on WEI now it barley gets a 7.6 from my intel set up
When I first got this SSD it was leaping by big numbers maybe over time it just degraded I was reading a secure erase would restore it back to former glory but I doubt it
I'm looking for that Samsung 840 pro 250 GB model maybe by Friday there on sale for 179.99 can't beat that
Also your performance is twice as bad with the agility then mine was there has to be something up with that
That DFI mobo does not have AHCI, IDE only, so it's a bit slower. Still have not found out why it reports 'bad'. Even with IDE it's still faster than the spinner on IDE.. Maybe I'll look for another <$20 mobo with AHCI.
