Got a 500GB Intel SSD. Now when I'm trying to clone the old Kingston 120GB drive with Reflect, I get Clone Failed - Read failed - 13- Broken pipe. What should I try? e: fixed error message, was Read failed and not Write failed. Sorry! Hob_Gadling fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Dec 17, 2014 |

Did a quick google on that error and found this topic: http://support.macrium.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5698 Looks like you need to run chkdsk and see if that fixes the issue.

Do Kingston V100 drives have any other tools you could try besides chkdsk? Fix in the thread you linked seemed to be some specialized tool from Seagate.

SeaTools only does anything of note on Seagate drives. Otherwise, the most it will do is report SMART information (a bog-standard function, Crystal Disk Info does it better) or trigger the drive's SMART self-test routine (also bog-standard, also fairly useless). Chkdsk is recommended because it is the only tool you can run at this stage that might fix the problem. If it's not something Chkdsk can fix, you need to move on to actual data recovery and abandon cloning, because in that case, it's dimes to dollars there's a hardware problem with the drive.

Yeah, not looking so good. The drive was tasked with fetching data at X LBA and it was not successful, returning a critical medium error or some poo poo. You can try cloning the drive in a Linux Live CD using dd or some data recovery software - you'd be aiming to skip the bad LBAs, basically, but at least you'll get the affected addresses and someone might be able to more finely narrow down on your next steps. You're probably going to find it easier reinstalling on the fresh drive and copying over what you can (or need) afterwards. It sounds lovely, I know, but you won't easily know what files are affected, and if they're even worth saving. There's probably a ton of crap that you don't even need on the drive as it is, so you're just cloning a lot of cruft over.

Hm, rapid mode on Magician 4.4 is casing BSODs for me. Found out there's a 4.5 while looking for a 4.3 installer so I guess I'll give that a go first.

That benchmark made it look like the 840 EVO is like at least twice as fast in most cases, which I can't comprehend because I've never felt like my current Patriot was slow at all  In fact, quite the opposite.

I noticed a few second improvement in boot time and load time on dragon age inquisition when I replaced my sandisk extreme with an 840 evo but obviously that's just a small improvement on what was already super fast compared to any HDD.

cycleback posted:Are consumer NVMe SSDs likely to be released anytime soon in wide availability? Not until you see PCIe M.2 and SATA Express on chipsets other than Z97 (which has spotty boot support) and X99. So I'd expect the first commercially-available ones to come along once a chipset does that is more mainstream-focused. As it stands, 1) there's a ton of SATA SSDs that OEMs still need to clear out that will make that $599 discount Dell feel like the best and fastest computer John Q. Schmuckatella has ever bought, and 2) really no technical need at present outside of specialized workstations and servers for the kind of performance that the drives offer. ...also, it's also a matter of free PCIe lanes. Some people trying to cram full their x99 boards with 3-4-way SLI are finding their x4 M.2 SSDs are coming up short on performance even with the 40-lane Haswell-E chips because they expect things to 'just work' when they plug them in. The only NVMe-equivalent SSD I know of that works on *all* systems thanks in large part to it 'fooling' a motherboards BIOS is this (and it uses a rather dated SF controller): http://anandtech.com/show/8752/gskill-phoenix-blade-480gb-pcie-ssd-review EDIT: the linked drive isn't NVMe.

That's not NVMe at all.

I'd expect PCIe and NVMe SSDs to come into their own with Skylake, because IIRC they will come with 20 PCIe lanes instead of 16 on consumer SKUs- the perfect amount to maintain a full GPU link while still having a full m.2 or Thunderbolt hookup left over.

So, although it's at Memory Express getting "checked", I came across this thread and figured I'd ask about the problem I'm having. A couple months ago I bought a Samsung 840 EVO 120GB for WIndows and a 1TB for games. Reinstalled Windows fresh and everything was great. Ran the Samsung Performance Restoral tool just in case, everything came back great. So fast forward to a week ago and the problems begin. EVE Online released a big update so I started it and then left for work. Came home and there was an exception error message on my screen and the EVE launcher says patch failed. Weird I shut down the launcher and restarted it but it said it couldn't find the executable. Check the system and the drive has vanished from Windows completely so I reboot and its back just fine. Start the patch again and within 5 minutes, exception happens again. Thinking its something wrong with the patch, I decided to reinstall EVE fresh. Started the download and within 5 minutes, exception. World of Warcraft however worked just fine, and had zero problem with the Curse Client updating addons and everything. Then, as a test, I decided to uninstall and reinstall WoW. Started the download and within 5 minutes, Bnet crashed and the drive was gone. I'm running an Asus P8P67 Pro with up to date BIOS, Windows 7 64bit is up to date. I ran the Samsung Performance Restoral and Magician and nothing changed. I installed WoW on my 120GB Windows drive and no problem. I have the Extended Warranty on it so it's at the shop but they ran a diagnostic on it and couldn't find a problem. They've got it for extended testing and hopefully they can duplicate the problem but is there anything else that it could be? SiliconX fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Dec 23, 2014 |

Based on the advice in the OP I have ordered an 850 Pro 512 GB for my Early 2011 15" MacBook Pro. Should be in tomorrow. I will be using TRIM Enabler, so TRIM should work fine. Would enabling FileVault be a bad idea? I've searched around and it seems like most people think it will be fine, but just wanted a sanity check here too.

So...uhhh....anyone had an EVO 840 fail on them? Edit: I just updated to Magician 4.5 from the software prompt and it ended up bricking the drive. I got a BSOD and had horrible hitching in games and thinking I had a psu problem I swapped that out and now my drive isn't recognized in the bios nor the windows 8.1 install DVD. Right now I'm letting it soak at the bios for 30 minutes per the OP. Anti-Hero fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Dec 24, 2014 |

I had an Intel 320 SSD fail on me - the drive so reliable that Intel upgraded the warranty from 3 years to 5 years, gratis. If you can get back in to it, then check it for uncorrectable bad sectors, and if there aren't any, take an image. If there are, back it up your files without taking an image. Either way, RMA the drive.

After letting it sit at the BIOS for an hour AND placing it in my brother's machine I can safely say it's dead. Merry loving Christmas. I'll get in touch with Samsung - anyone have any experience with their RMA process and what kind of turn around time I can expect? I'm considering just buying an 850 Pro and selling the RMA'd unit when it comes back.

Is there a way to see what application is doing all the writes on my SSD? I bought a 840EVO 250gb a month ago and it's already at 900GB writes, which i think is a bit high. I know you can check all the reads/writes with Process Monitor but I don't know how to set it to monitor writes only, otherwise i get like 10 million events per hour.

japtor posted:Just another should be fine answer here as far as FileVault, but if you're paranoid about security and happen to be running Yosemite you shouldn't use TRIM Enabler, at least for now. The problem afaik is that you have to disable kernel extension code signing entirely...and the 850 Pro should be fine without TRIM anyway iirc. Yeah I know TRIM enabler disables kext signing, I'm ok with that. I'll give FileVault a shot and see how it goes

Avulsion posted:Process Explorer has a I/O Write Bytes column. Just leave it running in the background for a while and see what stands out. The issue with this is that I/O Writes can also be to things other than disk, I believe it can also cover entirely virtual in-system things like named pipes. And not every write to a file may ever touch a disk.

So is there a good way to confirm my Sandisk Extreme SSD has some sort of poo poo sectors on it? Having constant hardlocks when writing large streams of data and random corruption with stuff installed with Steam, issues not happening on my HDD. Also, this is a bit over a year old and still in warranty, but if I decide to just buy a new drive are the Samsung 850 EVOs good to go, or not?

Hey, I have a question regarding installing an SSD on a console, which isn't something I have experience in. My bro wants to put an 840-EVO in his PS4, but my understanding is that those models may require a firmware update from Samsung to prevent or fix a slowdown bug. I was planning on following the Sony Support guide for installing an HDD, but past that, is it possible to update the ssd with the required firmware such as with a usb or outside the console via a computer? Or am I just stuck crossing my fingers beyond that point. Not even certain if this is a big deal or not, but I'd appreciate any info as I haven't had much luck digging up the specifics about this today. e: vv Simple enough, thanks

Col.Kiwi posted:Yeah that does seem kinda slow. I'm not actually sure what could be wrong though. However I'd be interested to see numbers in IOPS though rather than MB/s. That'd let us compare with other benchmarks and the Crucial specs, as IOPS is the more typical thing to measure when evaluating 4K random performance. The MB/s numbers do seem low enough that I'm guessing your IOPS numbers are probably "too low." Looks like turning off intel's speedstep worked. Now I'm getting iops typical of the drive. Before it was about half.

I know this has all been covered again and again, but here's my question: I got a fairly surprising 840 EVO 500GB drive, I've cloned my data from my 840 EVO 250GB. I'm all set on backups with crashplan, so that's great, my question is: if I concatenate (extend?) using the windows disk manager will I still get TRIM commands passed through to the drives? I'm not concerened about boosting performance, but just having the slight convenience of one big blob of storage. Thanks

So you have a 250GB partition on a 500GB drive right now? Yes, you can make your partition bigger - and no, it won't affect TRIM at all.
