Alignment is your biggest concern when cloning. Acronis TI 2011 or later will allow you to correct the alignment. I have had the best luck by inserting the drive into my system and use Win 7 to setup and format the drive before copying the system to the new drive.If you formatted your current...
Yes, there are reviews out there with the new FW, do a search on Crucial M4 reviews. Read performance is now on par with the others, write performance is better then it was but still slower then the Vertex3/ForceGT.
Jury is still out. But for me it is day and night difference. With the old FW I was getting 4 to 5 BSOD daily. I pulled the drive last week it was so bad. When they came out with the new FW 2.15 I reinstalled the Vertex 3 with the new FW. Changed nothing but the FW on the drive. I have now...
Just installed a new SSD in one of my systems using Acronis TI 2011 to copy the drive. Windows, Office, Street & Trips transferred without any activation required. Diskeeper did not as I had exceeded the activation count. A quick e-mail to them fixed that. The activation thing with Diskeeper...
Have been running for nearly 3 days with the new FW and it does appear to have cured the problems I was having with the system freezing and BSOD 4 to 5 times a day. No other changes to the system but the new FW.
I installed the Crucial M4 I bought to replace the Vertex 3 with in my backup...
Maybe or Maybe not. How is that for a definite answer. I have done what you are describing and had varying results. I have had to reactivate at times and have not had to on other swaps. Most of the time if it is nothing but a HDD swap Windows will activate without any problems. The worst...
I agree. I have 2 Intel, 1 Mushkin,an OCZ Vertex 2 LE, and the Vertex 3 Max. And the only drive I have had that was not plug and play was the V3. I did do some tweaking of the system but that was only after the drives were up and running. I had problems getting the V3 to work at 6GB/s with...
OK now, so I change out the OCZ Vertex 3 with another SSD or HDD changing nothing else and my system becomes stable and it is my drivers, Bios settings, MB, etc. that are causing the problem?
I don't quiet follow your logic!
I have had my Vertex 3 Max I/O 128GB since May and had no problems of any kind until about a month ago. Nothing was changed on the system. System starting BSOD with no dump file created, started looking for causes and narrowed it down to the V3. Installed my old V2 LE with a copy of the...
It is working for me so far. Jury is still out to see if it is a real fix. I was to the point that my system was getting a BSOD 4 or 5 times a day with a Vertex 3 Max I/O 128gb. I finally pulled the Vertex 3 and copied my drive with Acronis TI to my old Vertex 2 LE and had no problems.
I...
1. For me 2.09 reduced my ATTO benchmarks by about 4%.
2. It (2.09) allowed me to use my Vertex 3 Max in my hot swap bays, whereas I could not before. System would hang at boot with previous firmware. I had to connect directly to the motherboard and bypass the hot swap bays. I will...
I did check the facts before I posted. I did not say all SSD's have to be in AHCI, I said that SOME do, that is not all. There are several SSD's that need to be in AHCI to update.
Below are examples:
Corsair: Corsair states that the drive must be in AHCI to update firmware on the Corsair...
