As said...this was my first SSD. I know my PC/Board/Drivers can handle it. It did show flashes of brilliance...here and there. It should do everything better, period.
As said, on that benchmark stew2 posted, my drive got stuck on 4k write and it fluttered at 1.0 to .50 MB/s.
I knew something was wrong. It stayed there for over 5 minutes...and I stopped the test.
I'm looking at both the Intel M series and the Vertex 2 series.
But I think I'm going to wait until the next Gen come out, especially if they're going to be faster and cheaper.
I currently have an Asus P5KPL-CM, latest BIOS, chipset drivers, etc. Radeon HD4300 series (not a gamer, just wanted a good desktop graphics card with it's own RAM), Intel Q8300 quad core @ 2.5GHz and 4 GB (2 x 2GB) crucial RAM running 7 pro 64 bit.
I know by no means is this a top of the line rocket...but it works just fine for what I need and it is a great replacement for my old A7N8X deluxe/Barton core setup that lasted over 6 years....
Thanks for all the help. Any other ideas, please...you're not hijacking, I'm learning and I appreciate it.
Keep the info coming!
