I do not remember now all the things I went through to finally get the restore to work but a few points:. Use a disk that is already initialized as GPT or a disk that is not initialized.
After almost 2 days of frustration and countless boots after each attempt I would have to swith to non UEFI boot to boot from the SSD and get on the net to surf more bulletin boards and try to get help. Shutdown and booted the recovery DVD - and restored the image in about 12 minutes!!!
It even re-allocated the "c" partition back to the initial size. Also ensure that your disks have time to spin up and be properly seen - had an issue way back that the POST was so quick that the disks were not spun up in time to be recognized by the BIOS.
I have a 5 second delay set display the splash screen for 5 seconds. Try supplying the latest controller drivers either Intel or Marvell for the SATA port your disk is on option to load drivers during Windows install set-up.
Even if they are supposed to have support in Windows install I prefer to supply the latest ones from Intel driver download. I updated the BIOS from stock v to latest v I didn't try it with the stock BIOS. Now the UEFI boot is also not working The skull on the board and its packaging must mean this is a dead board you're buying See some pointers in the previous post I just put on this thread.
I have made substantial hardware changes since then with no problems - swapped 12GB for 24GB no overclock GSkill out and GSkill in neither listed on the official support list. For the ECC issue - have you opened a ticket with Intel and asked them directly.
For the X58 chipset the memory controller is part of the processor chip - not the MB chipset. For UEFI Is it an OEM version? I'll have to re-read it to make sure. CPU-Z also shows no info on error correction it's greyed. In fact I have contacted Intel's support twice through live chat, and they said if the system is booting and working, then ECC is working, if ECC wasn't working the system wouldn't boot at all and you wouldn't even be able to enter the BIOS menu I asked for a BIOS update and the guy said :"I can send your request to them only, they will analyze it and if the improvement is authorized it will be included into a future release" Why hardware RAID?
I'm a young nut who never played with RAID nor big systms although I'll have to, in the near future, I need to know the truth about SSDs because the specs are too good to be true ;-. For more complete information about compiler optimizations, see our Optimization Notice. I tried isolating to my boot device only and tried again, same scenario, same message. Thank you in advance for your help, Fox. While still very fast on our charts, it would have been even more impressive to see how the drive handled itself with a full NAND-channel lineup.
Our next test transitions to 2MB random transfers, which for most SSDs is just as simple as a sequential load. Our next section looks at 4K-aligned 4K random transfers at a queue depth of one, as well as an expanded test to a queue depth of Expanding the test to include increasing queue depth loads, our next set of charts cover how well drives handle higher loads. Each drive is put through its paces in this test, with 30 seconds at each interval and no recovery time in-between increases.
In the read portion of the expanded 4K trace, the Patriot Wildfire ranked middle of the pack with both repeating and incompressible data. Moving to the write section, some of the limitations of the smaller capacity and fewer NAND channels became evident. With repeating data, the Wildfire just about hit its advertised spec with 84, IOps at its peak.
Latency was not a problem for the Wildfire, measuring 0. Maximum response times varied between 38 and 45ms. Our last section of synthetic benchmarks uses IOMeter for industry-standard server profile tests. These cover database, file server, web server, and workstation scenarios.
These tests are very useful when you are looking at the NCQ abilities of a drive as well as finding out how they perform under a heavy workload. If you are new to StorageReview, one thing we try to focus on is how any given drive might perform under real-world conditions. For the average user, trying to translate random 4K write speeds into an everyday situation is pretty difficult.
For this reason we turned to our StorageMark traces, which include HTPC, Productivity, and Gaming traces to help readers find out how a drive might rank under their conditions. The first real-life test is our HTPC scenario. In this trace we recorded 2,MB being written to the drive and 1,MB being read.
Our second real-life test covers disk activity in a productivity scenario. For all intents and purposes this test shows drive performance under normal daily activity for most users. This test includes: a three hour period operating in an office productivity environment with bit Vista running Outlook connected to an Exchange server, web browsing using Chrome and IE8, editing files within Office , viewing PDFs in Adobe Reader, and an hour of local music playback with two hours of additional online music via Pandora.
In this trace we recorded 4,MB being written to the drive and 2,MB being read. Second-generation solid-state drives SSDs based on a new-and-improved SandForce controller are arriving thick and fast, but from what we've seen thus far, it's clear that not all SFbased drives are made equal.
OCZ has attempted to cover all bases with its extreme Vertex 3 Max IOPs , high-end Vertex 3 and mid-range Agility 3 models, and Corsair has also put forth two interesting propositions - the competitively-priced Force Series 3 for everyday performance, and the extreme Force GT for those who demand maximum performance.
Next in line to join the second-generation SandForce festivities is Patriot Memory, who has opted to throw caution to the wind and come out firing on all cylinders with the aptly titled Wildfire.
That's a substantial outlay for what hard-disk owners would call a few measly gigabytes, but the Wildfire offers plenty of power for your pound. Underneath its sleek 2. The numbers are undoubtedly quick, but they're not too dissimilar from those attached to competing SandForce drives, so what, if anything, will set the Wildfire apart?
