  • Who use the new apple 13' 15' uMBP with Falcon should update EFI

    Apple just released a EFI today to address the issue for 1.5Gb limitation. Don't know if that fix the freezing issue too. Will try it later.
    If you are using this combination, you might want to take a look.

    Update: It seems the freeze issue also been fixed, i guess there are too many data waiting to transfer to CPU since the controller is 1.5Gb . Indilinx should look at their firmware to handle this kind of issue.

    Here is some quick test i did.
    The resume XP of vmware fusion before take almost 20 sec. now it's 10 sec. Start up is still 18' like before since it's all small files i guess.
    But vmware is much faster to resume and suspend.

    here is the xbench
    Before:
    Disk Test 199.74
    Sequential 153.74
    Uncached Write 188.38 115.66 MB/sec [4K blocks]
    Uncached Write 168.17 95.15 MB/sec [256K blocks]
    Uncached Read 93.58 27.39 MB/sec [4K blocks]
    Uncached Read 245.21 123.24 MB/sec [256K blocks]
    Random 285.03
    Uncached Write 125.63 13.30 MB/sec [4K blocks]
    Uncached Write 283.54 90.77 MB/sec [256K blocks]
    Uncached Read 2265.96 16.06 MB/sec [4K blocks]
    Uncached Read 474.91 88.12 MB/sec [256K blocks]

    After the update:
    Disk Test 273.45
    Sequential 225.27
    Uncached Write 287.31 176.41 MB/sec [4K blocks]
    Uncached Write 314.59 178.00 MB/sec [256K blocks]
    Uncached Read 114.86 33.61 MB/sec [4K blocks]
    Uncached Read 418.23 210.20 MB/sec [256K blocks]
    Random 347.86
    Uncached Write 121.91 12.91 MB/sec [4K blocks]
    Uncached Write 549.09 175.78 MB/sec [256K blocks]
    Uncached Read 2548.45 18.06 MB/sec [4K blocks]
    Uncached Read 924.04 171.46 MB/sec [256K blocks]

    Almost everything is faster now.
