Show us your SSD performance 2

Ghost that comes with the Samsung SSD may work just fine on the Samsung.

I know it the past it was flaky but that was before SSD's. I don't know if they ever fixed it.
I would hope that they have.
I used the Paragon when I did my Samsung so don't know.

Ghost provided with your Samsung might be worth a try and it is free.

Just a thought.

Yea, I know Alan. I did too for a long time, but found it's the best $20 I ever spent. In fact I used it 3 times last night switching SSDs from one machine to another. It took me an hour. A lot better than 2 clean installs. It's also the best backup you can get.

It will transfer between any HDD to SSD. Also works SSD to SSD and HDD to HDD.
The best $20 I spent also.

My 2 cents.

Got mine for free in a giveaway. Ver. 2.0 Special Edition.

Forgive the dumb question Mike but is that the feature on the CD that came with the drive?

My latest Ivy B now fully operational and seems to be getting quicker.

John, those are pretty impressive nums - congrats. I like the write access time. Never saw it that fast.

Thanks Wolfgang I have a rough understanding of the German headings but the access time is not one that I am familiar with.

Access Time = Zugriffszeit

That is not a dumb question.
Yes I beleive it comes on the CD.
I downloaded the SSD Magician from the web site to get the newest version so did not even try the CD.

You can get the newest version of Samsungs Ghost from the Samsung site. Might be the exact same one as on the CD.

WOOHOO!!

Success!!

RAID0 TRIM WORK ON Z68!!

F*** you Intel!!

Asrock Z68 Exreme4 GEN3
BIOS V2.30 modded by Garikfox with Fernando OROM 11.6.0.1702 RAID0 TRIM enabled hack specific to the P67/Z68
2 X Crucial M4 128GB 000F Firmware
RAID0 128K strip array originally created with OROM 10.8.0.1303
Intel RST driver 11.6.0.1030 installed before upgrading to OROM 11.6.0.1702
Win7 64 Ultimate

I flashed, I configured, I conquered. Nothing else to change. 100% confirmed to work with HxD, thanks to Fernando's guide. Ahhhhhhhhh, the pretty zeros all over the place!

NOTE: I don't know If I did something wrong, but after the first reboot, it didn't work. Rebooted a second time, tested again and BOOM! Maybe 2 reboot are necessary. Also, the M4's Marvell controller seem to have a more relaxed triggering time for TRIM. I did the test immediately after deleting the file and emptying the trash can and it didn't work. I then waited a good 45-60 seconds, tested again and BOOM!

Thanks a ∞ times!! to everyone involved. Especially Garifox, Fernando and of course to the one that made all this possible: Dufus.

I finally got my original speed back!:

Yeah, thanks! Just poped Intel RST 11.7.0.1013 for fun. Look at what I've got! I broke the 6K mark in Anvil!

NOTE: TRIM still working with the new driver!

Regarding the Samsung provided Norton Ghost program, it actually only provides a link to the Norton download and when I down loaded it it asked for a product key and or a free 30 day trial. As no code was provided I hit the 30 day trial and then tried to open the SSD clone portion but it's only available with a full purchased version so it was un-installed immediately.

Use free Macrium. That is always a safe bet.

whs and Hopalong X,
Thanks so much for the info. I'm nervous about the proper next step as I don't want to image myself into another fresh install. But I'm tempted to re-image my current Samsung 830 to my Vertex III, install the Vertex as the C drive and use the Samsung tool to install it back to a completely wiped Samsung drive. As my system is still crazy fast at the moment I'm still gathering all my ducks and then I'll get them in a row, also going to call back to Samsung and get thier input and then likely over the next week take the plunge.....but as I said If I wind up screwing things up or having to do another clean install with all my software......I'll scream bloody murder !

Good luck mate! Hope it all works out for you. Clean reinstalls are royal pain...

I am not 100% sure what you are trynig to do. If you want to move the OS from the Samsung to the Vertex, then you have to first image the Samsung to a HDD (internal or external) and then restore the image to the Vertex. Imaging directly to the Vertex will not give you a bootable SSD/OS.
