Whats the status of your SSD?


Recommended Posts

Maybe someone can explain something to me. I used to have in Windows 7 (x64) a score index of 7.3 on the SSD (primary disk). But for a while now that score lowered to 5.9. Does anyone know how this could have happened and what can I do to fix it?

?? 76%

OCZ Vertex 2,

Since Mon 23rd August 2010

Firmware 1.11 going to try newer, should i worry about losing data ?

OCZ Tools guide warns you and advises you to backup your drive just in case, even though it shouldn't corrupt your data.

Also it specifies if this is your OS drive then you shouldn't do it. Although i have read that is possible though.

I'm just backing up my drive now and going to upgrade. My Firmware is really low.

wei is just retarded, try re running the test. For example I just bought my new ssd, installed windows and drivers and went to run wei. First it refused to bench my disk at all and just failed for no reason, then I rebooted and it ran and gave my graphics a 1.0 so I couldnt enable aero, then i ran it again and graphics score was fixed and my ssd went from 7.7 to 5.9, THEN I ran it again and my ssd went back to 7.7.

Also the write speed of ssd's does degrade a bit over time I believe, but you should probably still be getting a higher score.

Try Intel ACHI / AMD ACHI drivers depending what chipset you have, mine scores 7.7 everytime with that before it was 5.9 to 7.3 mix also. But yeah WEI is wierd sometimes too.

Thank you for your inputs. I tried re-running the tests a lot of times, even on a brand new W7 installation. Still have the same 5.9 score.

I also have the Intel ACHI drivers installed (using an Asus P6T-SE motherboard), and also set on AHCI mode in the BIOS...

Well that sucks!

Surely a drive shouldn't be this poorly after just 18 months? Oh and as a side note, it still works perfectly. If I hadn't run that program I'd have thought it was in perfect condition :/

Oh and here are CrystalMark scores:

Doesn't seem too bad for a drive probably considered 'Old' in SSD terms, never mind the health :p

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
