    Vertex 3 Degradation on Marvell 9128 Controller

    You sound like you know what you are talking about, so I don't want to go against you, but is there any way to make sure the drive is getting good power, while still allowing sleep after 20 minutes?

    On Fragmentation...

    This was something I posted on my Facebook page so it is geared toward friends that aren't techies. So just excuse the explanatory tone if you can. Some comments would be great...

I know my case sucks for water cooling but I think it can be worked with. This guy did some nice stuff with it...
