SF-1200 -- Sleep Bug still not fixed?

[zerogear]

Was thinking of plugging a SF_1200 drive into my laptop (240GB) but I was wondering if the Sleep Bug was still not fixed -- What I read about it is that is seems to be still around, does anyone have any idea? Since its going into a laptop, and I use sleep mode lot on the laptop, this might be a dealbreaker for me...

Although most of the forums I've read from, people who were using MBP were the ones that are complaining, so is the bug mainly Mac or is it everyone?

I just shut mine off. With the quick speed of the SSD, booting is painless.

I hadn't even heard about this issue before, is it pretty common? I have a Sandforce SSD, but I never use suspend-to-RAM, so I haven't noticed this.

Anyway, if you do run into issues with resuming from sleep, you may just try setting the laptop to hibernate instead of sleep. As fast as these SSDs are, entering and resuming from hibernate isn't much slower than suspend-to-RAM. Using hibernate instead should also give you better battery life.

It seems to be pretty wide spread:

applied latest firmware to callisto deluxe 120gb and haven't noticed a problem. do notice problem on microcenter g2 (ADATA).

also the ADATA doesn't work with a pata to sata converter. the intel does. so it makes me wonder if theres some timing issues.

symptom:
adata bsod machine- reboots and no drive found. cold power cycle and back to action for 1-2 days. at this point i'm not sure what to do with the drive other than return it.

the callisto deluxe is the same controller but has had many firmware revisions and is solid so far. but i'm using callisto on an older Q6600 (inspiron 530) chipset and the ADATA is on a newer Q9400 (dc7900) motherboard.

nothing fancy going on either of them. i might try the ADATA in raid-1 to see if they are stable (problems will cause the raid to drop rather fast).

this thread seems to be running parallel to my SF1200 thread (http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2126256)

Resurrecting this thread because the title is more applicable to my inquiry and the aformentioned parallel thread ended without much user success input.

Anybody here running a SandForce SF-1200 with Win 7 and using sleep successfully?

I've seen multiple comments here and there about resume from sleep problems (blue screen etc) with various SandForce based drives and indications a firmware update may fix these problems.

I'm looking for real world been there done that experiences.

I'm interested in a SandForce SF-1200 drive for use with Win 7 64bit on an Acer 3810T laptop, top contenders would be a Corsair F120 or OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 120.

I'll be checking out the Corsair and OWC communities but thought I'd drop an inquiry here as well.

I'm using an Intel X-25M 80 with an Asus P7P55D motherboard, Win 7 64bit and sleep/resume works flawlessly, have never seen a problem.

So, that's a known entity but for the laptop the significantly reduced power consumption of the SF-1200 is appealing.

I don't need/can't take advantage of SATA3 on the laptop so the latest drives are less compelling for this application.

thanks for any comments
