Good call. Only one warning of significance, and it's not consistent: wuaueng.dll (1104) SUS20ClientDataStore: A request to write to the file "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.log" at offset 1200128 (0x0000000000125000) for 4096 (0x00001000) bytes succeeded, but took an...

Hi everyone, I've posted this in the Crucial forums, but I didn't get much help and I wanted to make a last ditch effort to figure out this issue before opening a ticket with Crucial for a possible RMA. These are some snippets from my post over there to prevent additional typing. The...

I know I said I was going to return the unopened one from Newegg back to Amazon, but my motherboard *does* support RAID 0 on the two SATA III ports... So tempting... Also, there's nothing "unethical" about returning the product. Amazon actually provides a return option called "Better price...

The serial number is only located on the sealed drive case. The only difference is the lot number on the outside and accompanying barcode, which doesn't look scannable with a UPC scanner. And I didn't find any Google results where they mention checking the lot number on returns. I already own...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148444 Actually just got this same SSD with exact product number on Amazon Thursday for $590.

So I re-installed Windows 7 and made sure to delete the previous partition, and the alignment is set correctly. AS-SSD gave me slightly better results, more in-line with Intel's specs, especially the sequential write being about 220 MB/s.

AS-SSD says my offset is off, which I find odd since I did a fresh install of Windows 7. I'll have to look into it.

The BIOS does have a setting to limit sata power use, but it is set to performance by default.

PC Wizard gave me the answer. The port is sata 3 (6 Gb/s). It was listed under Drives -> Disk Controller. Oddly, the ODD is hooked up with something other than sata, I think I saw it as parallel. Thanks!

Hey everyone, Is there a way to determine the version of the sata port with a program? Not the hard drive itself, but the MB sata port without cracking open the case (it's a notebook)? I just got a Toshiba notebook (the custom version of what was just reviewed on Anandtech) and overall I'm...

It's a 100MB partition that you can just remove the drive letter by right clicking My Computer -> Manage -> Disk Management -> Right click the partitiion and Change Drive Letter and Paths. No need to delete it, it's for recovering Windows if you fail to boot. Removing the drive letter will...

Wow. The Acer is exactly what I want. It's got USB 3.0 and the HDD is easily accessible so I can swap it out for an SSD. The brushed blue color is quite nice too. The only minor downside is the glossy screen, but I can live with it. Thanks for that post! Now it just has to come out here in the...

Does anyone know when to expect these systems? I'm waiting for a solid portable solution on which to do GPGPU development. Asus would be ideal, but they don't seem to be in a rush to get these out. I would also try AMD graphics, but I'd like to have the option for CUDA in addition to OpenCL. I...

Ya, it sounds like there could be a Windows.old folder sitting on the SSD. Even if it's a clean install, the previous OS folder is still kept around if you install it over an existing Windows install.

Whoops, somehow double posted the edit...
