Firmware 1916 benchmarks/impressions

[sirius69]

so everyone seem to agree that this latest firmware is rather useless ? certainly no performance gain and not even sure about if the garbage collector feature is doing it's job or not ?

anyone else with a new report about the 1916 FW ?

I become more an more DATA Corruption after Two Days the System becomes unbootable Chkdsk Messages as PopUp in Tray something like that
i must restore an Acronis Backup because the System is unbootable after chkdsk.

I Guess it could be something wrong with the TRIM and the Intel RapidStorage Drivers.

I use
ASUS P7P55D Deluxe Intel P55
+
Intel Rapid Storage Manager v9.6.0.1014 WHQL from Intelsite
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...18859&lang=deu
+
G.Skill Falcon1 128GB FW1916

Currently ive done a Fallback to Standard AHCI 1.0 Seriell-ATA-Controller
the Original MS Drivers integrated in Windows7 Ultimate x64bit

So i will check this if it happens again. Two times i had to restore my system last Week. Perhaps its a Drive Faliure.

THE SSD DRIVE is Runnig 15 Hours a Day NonStop as SYSTEM Bootdrivebasis.



UPDATE 28.03.2010:
Today i had another Corruption of the Filesystem. With Original MS Drivers native Win7.

I guess something is wrong with the TRIM so after some Days of Usage my Filesystem becomes Corrupt.

Can i RMA my Drive in Germany. How Long does it take.

I finally took the plunge and went for the 1916 FW.
SURPRISE :

Read and write went back up as they were with the old firmware 1571.



I'm a happy camper. If it stay like this, it will be nice.

Compare with the Old score with previous FW 1819 :

Sequential Read : 174.240 MB/s
Sequential Write : 87.284 MB/s
Random Read 512KB : 143.807 MB/s
Random Write 512KB : 82.012 MB/s
Random Read 4KB : 29.304 MB/s
Random Write 4KB : 6.809 MB/s

I had another Filesystemcrash today. CHKDSK with many Faliures ->Unbootable again.

Ive used the Orginal MS AHCI Drivers. Currently i turn TRIM Notification off.
to Check if its the TRIM Function.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\FileSystem]
"DisableDeleteNotification"=dword:00000001
"SymlinkLocalToLocalEvaluation"=dword:00000001

And i give the SSD a seperate Single Powercord to be sure that the Power is always stable.
ive use a ENERMAX ELT620AWT

So if this happens every 3rd Day i must RMA my FalconI 128GB Drive.

if it's the same in IDE mode, you might have a brick.

Since Deactivation of the TRIM Function in the Registry i have now a healthy Filesystem.

I guess something goes wrong when trim is enabled. Ive tested both MS AHCI Drivers and the Latest 9.6.0 from Intel

@Hase1,hi you must raise your MCH Voltage on P55 Chipset with SSD Drive.

Thx i will test it currently ive disabled trim in the registry all fine so far but no trim on.
