Have heard about similar events with SSDs causing data crash... sitting pretty on the fence for the time beeing, thank you very much!  unhappy

Not saying it's that, but having a gnaving suspicion...  Wink

Btw. they report 2 (or more) different SSD technologies and one of them is supposed to be much better regd. error situations. Can't say which but if you google a bit ?

Also not all controllers handle SSD perfectly. Also as by Google.
 
And, due to the excessive price atm. SSD is gonna wait for my part.

I'm thinking,... dangerous yes, but I'm thinking I dodged a bullet with my
OCZ Core Series OCZSSD2-1C128G 2.5" 128GB SATA II Internal Solid state disk (SSD)
and it is actually SLC memory...
chk this post out by Gordon of Wavelength audio,,, he's saying it is.
http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/pcaudio/messages/4/40013.html
I've also found hints?? from the manufacturer posting that it is... it's been a tough confirm, I should just call teh company to find out for sure, but I think this SATA II is actually sourced from samsung.

Maybe why I've had good luck.

hmm
So, good I have sp1 Vista? But I thought you're concerned about SP1.  I don't know, but it's been good for me, or I don't know what sp0 would have been like compared.  Will you be able to slipstream sp1 update with your Vista sp0 when you reinstall... I'd think you'd have to or you'll just end up with vista sp0 and errors and then try to upgrade to sp1.

... which I did a while ago now, and I can't say it got any better because of that.
Unexpected little "stalls" seem to have gone, but "minute long" stalls got in place of that.
Besides that, things seem to become more and more slow, and while converting a FLAC album can go in 10-15 seconds, this now merely takes 3-4 minutes. This is most clear when the last two tracks (at first written in cache presumeably) may take well over 3 minutes to complete writing to the SSD (hence, this is when XXHighEnd disappeared, and *then* the writing still takes place for 3-4 minutes).
Hard reboot (power off) has become more of a habit, and I don't recall this from SP0 and/or the normal spinning disk.

Obtaining the complete library of albums (well over 10,000) is still a few seconds work, but now there's something like waking up the SSD (10-15 seconds) after a loinger time of no access, which I didn't see before. This by itself may be a good sign btw.

But I don't trust this all ...

Sounds familiar from my exp. with a Asus Cee 900. Sometimes long pauses where the disc light is on but the machine is "working" and nothing happens for a minute or so...small operations is in play when this happens, should take seconds.

It comes back but takes time.

Creepy...

Nah, my combo of 2xVelociraptor 300's in RAID 0 is perfect in use IMO. Will hang on to those for the time being.

Hope you get better stability though. Cross fingers.

Yep, I guess I'm up to it.
Yesterday I rebooted the PC (which may happen once in a few days) and there I had it : Windows Kernel is missing.
Hahahaha, that seems a rather important thingy to me. Should reside in NTKRNLPA.EXE.

Well, I trew the SSD out, stuffed the still available spinning OS disk in again (back to SP0 dutch version evil), and then it immediately occurred to me again : this is more "less harsh". Also what I got back were the very very straight guitar strings I had been missing for a while (like with no (micro) vibrato at all), and again I now think the SSD is not good;

Afterwards thinking back, it looks like it creates some fake sharpness to the sound. So yes, it sounds more sharp in a positive sense, but it is not natural. Now things are more warm. More live-like. More easy to get into the (music and the) musicians.

In the mean time I can't bear all the changes ! swoon
Happy


PS: checkdisk/f didn't show any errors this time, nor did I encounter any other anomalies with the SSD the last weeks since SP1. So I'm not sure it is the SSD which failed ...

Peter, Since you threw out your SSD, I will be glad to take it off your hands?   Happy

too bad it's not working for you, but that's the price we pay when we buy very new technology....
we become beta testers or should I say guinea pigs...

My machine is still running strong/smoothly and, I think, sounding great...
Course,
I don't beat my machine up like Peter does.
(I did just update windows because of the IE hole that was found and also allowed some security patches to be installed ... that's always scarey to let MS do that.  Hope SQ didn't change)

One question for the SSD-users, what kind of powercleaning are you using?
To me it sounds like the SSD gives some more electronic garbage back to the powersupplies.
I guess a spinning harddiskengine is more harmless in this way, different frequencies and such..
Maybe some powercleaning here and there could help or not?

That very well could be. But the stupid thing is "we" applied the SSD for better sound. And the sound sure becomes different from it. The question is why and if it is really better.
If the sound doesn't change, I don't need it ... innocent

Sorry, but with my shootout between the SSD and the HDD I had I would say it was the HDD that could use some power cleaning,,, it was in that very area I thought the SSD beat out the HDD ... I felt there was less "hash" in the music and that I hadn't stripped any music in doing so.  I was pretty thorough when I went back and forth that time, I'm pretty confident this time that the SSD was better.

ps
Can I get "crazy audiophile" tags like you too peter?  I think I've earned it.

Half a year later ...

Back on an SSD (OCZ Vertex) and ... man, what a difference. I missed this !!
Now let's see whether this one keeps on working. But I'd almost say, if not, then not. I'll apply a restore and in 20 minutes I'll be playing again. It's really worth it.

Dave, Leif, I even turned down my Q2 a bit. I thought it could take it ... Happy

Peter, how is the overall speed performance with SSD?

Using xxhe, as in loading audio files and pictures and to get in unattended and
restore services and stuff like that.

And how behaves Vista on SSD compares to normal HDD.
Does it speed up certain things!
Just curious what your experiences are!
