Three months use on a single X25.

G1, no trim support (and I'm on Vista anyway) and never run third-party trim either.

Not going to delete the partition to run write tests, but there is no noticeable degradation.

Well... it's obvious that you need to spend more time in front of your PC and use the drive more.

Nice!

I tossed all my pre-RAID single drive tests but I guess Intel's G1 pre-TRIM "clean and orderly" stuff is working just fine.

I was cleaning up my storage drive and found a folder with all my original HDTune benches (although they are also posted in the sticky at the top of this forum..)

I generally don't keep folders, just drive images and I probably deleted that folder to make a smaller image and then deleted that image while cleaning my WHS storage.

AAR, I've always read that the G1 drives didn't need TRIM and your screenshots add validation.

G1 need TRIM if heavily used.

CrystalDiskMark.

Read tests are a good way to show nothing.

Writes are what degrades...

Three months usage would explain the whole thing. Non-trim speed degredation issues happen over a longer timeline. Update this thread in a year.

This is correct. Before I updated my firmware on my Vertex's, I lost performance in the write tests not the read test.

 

[Old Hippie]

I must be the lucky one....I lost both write and read!

Wow SSDs degrade really fast. I have Samsung 60GB/7200rpm more than 6 years old and still chugs. No sign of bad sector or anything.

It's performance degrading due partially filled sectors... not corrupted sectors.

Also, there are absolutely bad sectors on your Samsung drive. It just internally remaps them to reserved space so you don't see them.

Where did you work that out from? His results show nothing as its the write performance that decreases, but using TRIM stops that from being much of a problem.

Oh, i misevaluated the benchmark comparisons then.

@Duckieho, I know SSDs have shorter life cycle than mechanical drives. I read it before. And my good ol Samsung drive, i run HD Tune bad sector test on it results were fine.

Just ran CrystalDiskMark: http://www.overclock.net/9536314-post109.html

So would you guys say that one x-25M Gen2 will eventually outperform two x-25M Gen2 Raid 0 due to degredation? (No trim support on RAID by Intel

raid 0 doesn't support trim so it degrades faster. just your writing
