The first post I managed to bumble finger. :tdown: Here are the ATTO results for 5 hard drive I tested. They were all tested on the same computer; Intel DH55TC, Intel i5 760, and 16GB of RAM. Some of the results are interestng. I left out the chart from the original Raptor.

That was stupid.

Yes. This morning I ran ATTO on 6 different hard drives from the original Raptor to a Crucial SSD. I want to post the results for everyone to see. Thus, this test.

Doesn't all the data on a RAM disk dissappear when you shut off the computer?

Test - learning how to upload files/pictures.

Here it is.

Didn't systernals have a utility to show all the processes that are running?

I made my own "desk" for home computer use. It is "L" shaped. The bottom of the "L" is flipped over (it would be a backwards "L" if you looked down on it. "_|" ) The short section is for my forearm to rest on with the mouse being on the main section. This keeps my wrist straight and is extremely...

Years ago we did fresh installs every6-8 months to keep the OS running. (Win95) Now I guess you need to reinstall just to clean out all the spyware, viruses, trogens, and all the other crap that infects computers.

Shut the computers off before you leave and enjoy your vacation. Recharging your batteries is more important than any computer.

I usually open Task Manager then go into Affinity and shut off a processor or two in folding when I need to do something on the computer. At least F@H continues to run if I forget about it.

Careful how you talk about us elderly :)

Actually, we are not replacing them. Most of them are on a piece of production equipment. If there is a power failure at the equipment, there is not much sense keeping the computer powered up. They just add to our maintenance.

You might look in the Salvation Army or Goodwill for a used PC to build your router. Super cheap.

No, I'm not kidding. Some of these were installed by well meaning but uninformed employees and vender's. We are in the process of removing them when we find them or they totally fail, which is how we usually find them. The only ones we are keeping at the moment are the ones in our network hubs...

Interesting that you used a utility made for testing SSD's.

How do you wipe a SSD? Write all zeros to it like conventional hard drives?

All I have ever used are APC. If you don't replace the batteries when the unit tells you to, the entire UPS shuts down in ~30 days. Not much of an Uninterruptable PS

But it's 'green' power. :-D

How about this

How about putting a fan in the windows where the computers are. Have it blowing out.

That's spooky. No idea what might have caused the problem?

Yep, pretty anal is where I work.

Where are all the robots?

Disable IPv6?

Cable Management

If it was in "approved packaging" then it came from Intel that way.

After all the fartin' around getting the RMA, turns out Supermicro is not on our approved 'ship to' list.:rolleyes: This will take at least another week while Supermicro is approved.

The explosions probably didn't help matters either.

You have to remember that until yesterday they didn't have any electricity. All their metering equipment didn't work. The cameras and other monitoring equipment didn't (doesn't) work. They are making the best of what can only be described as a worst case senareo. Even Three Mile Island had...

Maybe install mouse drivers first?

Apparently, another Sandy Bridge problem?

Possibly 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' check box is checked in Device Manager for the mouse?

Possibly. My motherboard is only SATA II, 3GB/s. Your REVO is plugged into a PCI-e slot, correct?

If you download that utility, scan it with your virus/adware scanner. Security Essentials flagged it as having adware in it.

No, I'm running version 006. I have been reading the Crucial forums also. I didn't see anything bad about V006 of the firmware though. But I didn't read every thread either. The AS SSD test software gives me a total score of 496. When I had the two drives in RAID 0, the score was 819.

Bonus points??

I don't know it it is only locked into Security Essentials. That's all I have installed.

I would think TRIM would be more important on the smaller SSDs with less free space to start with. Mine are 64GB.

I've been using Chrome beta for a couple of days. I like it. I wish it had one feature of IE9 though. As soon as you finish downloading a file, IE9 scans it with MS Security Essentials. So far it has found two 'medium alert' items. Nice

I removed the hard drives from the RAID array. Not having the TRIM function was not worth the extra performance. In real world use, it's hard to tell the difference anyway.

Performance on the ICH9R is great. Still need to run ATTO but AS SSD overall score is almost doubled from a single drive, but thats what you would expect.

I have put the SSDs on the ICH9R controller on my motherboard. I have done a clean install of Server 2008. Still setting things up. So far it is working fine.

The one thing that I miss is the ability to go directly to my home page (Google) when opening a new tab. You can do it on IE but not on Chrome or Firefox. At least I haven't found a way yet.

I attached one SSD to the 9650se. Then ran AS SSD benchmark. The speeds were one third of what they were before I attached the SSD to the 9650se. I need a new controller :(

I now have 2 Crucial C300 64GB SSD drives. I also have a 3Ware 9650se RAID controller. I have not found a way to get the 9650se to work with the SSDs. Sometimes it sees both SSDs, other times it sees both but says one is degraded. I have the latest firmware and drivers loaded. One of the...

Very interesting, Thanks!

I was long past the time to return them to the vender. (30 days) But they did help me get the RMA through Supermicro's sales rep.

I looked all over their site and found nothing. I sent an email to their sales department. We'll see???

There is a setting to shut the power off to the hard drive. Right click on the desktop and click on personalize. Then click on screen saver and then click on change power settings. then click on change plan settings and then on change advanced power settings There in the window is hard disk...
