Is my GSKILL Phoenix normal?

[chandra85]

this is my HDTune result

is this normal?
already set AHCI mode on BIOS
latest firmware


my motherboard: GA-EP45UD3R

[G.SKILL]

Have you set C-state disable?
Disable would be better.
the line is normal (not straight) for this controller when user install OS or data.

um, what is C-state and where do i set this?

and my friend says that my SSD slower than his (the same type and size)

[G.SKILL]

In BIOS setting, it is about power saving.
if this SSD is not slow or freeze, don't care the benchmark.
Benchmark is for refer.

[chandra85]

ok, already switch off power saving, run bit faster


another screen on device manager:


is this correct?
already follow instruction on tweaking Phoenix, the device manager show different stats

[G.SKILL]

Hi chandra85,

It is correct.
Don't worry.

[chandra85]

um, i think my os has problem related to ssd
before i changed to ssd, it work fine, this is clean install, not by imaging

my windows 7 paint program can't save to either on SSD or other HDD

if i want to install program, if the program save temp to ssd drive, the program can't continue to install


is there any suggestion to fix this problem? or do i have to re-install my windows 7?

[chandra85]

any suggestion here?

[G.SKILL]

Hi chandra85,

Check this SSD's health and capacity.
Try reinstall again.

[chandra85]

is it okay to save temp file on SSD?
like temp file for install app or games?
look's like it's the same thing as paint app

[G.SKILL]

I don't think this problem is temp file with SSD, please reinstall Windows 7 (don't use reproduce software).

Reinstall Windows 7 step by step.

[chandra85]

already re-install my windows 7, works fine now

without optimize anything,
please tell me what's the most important thing to do with ssd
- already turn off fragmentation, system restore and indexing only.

is there anything else that important?
oh about my anti virus, it scan my drive once in every week, it is alright?

[G.SKILL]

it would be fine, just set AHCI mode, that's all.
you don't have to set other options.
