RST is updated.
We are not really making progress, CDM just shows slightly higher numbers :) (as-ssd just measured seq write 225)
Take your time, it took me weeks to post about this problem :)
drive was new
alignment is ok (105 906 176 / 4096 = 25 856)
After performance optimization sequential write is 220, but that seems to be within error margin
RST 10.6.0.1002
Where can I check chipset drivers version?
I stopped looking at crucial ssds after I heard about whine under load

Also, judging just by these scores

it would seem that 470 operates at Sata2 limits.
bump
SSD buying just became much harder after sandforce released its newest firmware which might fix most BSODs
anyway I wanted to repeat the most basic question:
Is it worth going with faster Sandforce/Samsung 830 (vs samsung 470) on SATA 2 mobo?
I'm thinking about buying an SSD (again). I will try one of the 120-128GB models.
By elimination I don't think I want any of these:
Intel 320 - 8MB bug (after f/w update http://communities.intel.com/thread/24339)
Sandforce (I bet I would be lucky enough to get BSOD problems)
Crucial m4 - no...
is this correct?:
SSDSA2xxxxxG3xx = Intel 320 series (25nm) 250/170 MB/s R/W
SSDSC2MH120A2K5, SSDSC2MH250A2K5 = Intel 510 ssd series (34nm) (R/W 450/300 280$ for 120gb)
These two 34nm based drives seem cheap as the current Intel 120GB (250/100) is priced at 230$ ;)
[So maybe G3 320 series...
and are we sure about other manufacturers?
benchmarks seem to be quite variable... http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=corsair+f60+as-ssd&go=&form=QBIR
thank you
(please also add info about drive model - 60gb?)
and more questions... why some people get 67MB/s or 47MB/s...

yes... just try to copy some files (I guess min size ~100MB to see if it is really capped at 37mb/s) from fast source and measure the time (teracopy might also display transfer speeds correctly)
it seems it is still ~270mb/s (atto)

(both drives at 55GB which makes this comparison weird)...
they did not change any of the specs and used additional space and sandforce to keep the 2 million hours MTBF...
I would love to know if the changes in some benchmarks have any effect on normal usage speeds
interesting:
http://www.ntfs.com/disk-monitor-smart-attributes.htm
196 C4 Reallocation Event Count
Count of remap operations. The raw value of this attribute shows the total number of attempts to transfer data from reallocated sectors to a spare area. Both successful & unsuccessful attempts...
I could not check SMART with HDTune because it does not want to read that info when HDD is connected via USB.
Anyway, I received an answer in a mirror post at wdc.com - which sounds reasonable: create RMA :)
also: "It is rare that DLG return a false postive for code 08"...
Hello! :)
I have a problem with WD3200AAKS hard drive. I wanted to send it for warranty exchange so I did a Full Erase with Data Lifeguard diagnostic.
Before the full erase:
Current Pending Sector Count was at 8
and extended test results looked like this:
Test Option: EXTENDED TEST
Model...
erm, yes, that's also what pcper says
All this SSD models got really confusing, you cant even be sure what you have after opening the damn thing :)
Not to mention that each capacity has varying performance...
