Installed SSD but data transfer rates at 8mb/s and unresponsive

Sigh, just installed the Crucial m500 480gb SSD in my macbook pro 17" early 2011. Everything seemed well on bootup and the SSD is detected and formatted successfully. But when I run CCC, it took 2hrs to transfer 2gb.
After stopping the cloning, the SSD became unresponsive. Even disk utility crashed and cldn't start up. I had to reboot.
Then I tried manually coping a 10gb file from my existing HDD to the SSD, it started at rates of 8mb/s then dropped. It wld stop for awhile (20-30s) and continue. All the while, transfer rates keep dropping till 2-3mb/s. I stopped the transfer halfway as it was taking so long. Then the SSD became unresponsive again.
Is it safe to say that there is a problem with the SSD??
Argggg. Tks.

You might want to contact Crucial support - make sure you have the latest firmware for it too (although no available updates are listed on the Crucial site).

  • Disk data transfer rate - iMac 2013

    Good morning Apple fellows
    First of all, sorry for my troubled English speaking, I'll do my best to explain the issue I'm having in the best way possible.
    Yesterday I finally received my new iMac (I'm a proud Apple user since 2006), the machine has these specifications: 16 GB Ram, i7 processor, nVidia GT 780M, and a SSD drive of 1TB of capacity.
    Under Mavericks everything runs smooth and fine, no issues at all, just perfect, the fastest machine I've ever had. Unfortunately, I had to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp (I'm a mechanical engineer and I use Autodesk Inventor to do my stuff).
    After completing the installation of the Microsoft OS, I instantly noticed some laggy performance while running Windows: I installed as asked all the Bootcamp drivers with the USB pendrive that I prepared, but both the startup of the system and the normal use were a bit slow, even slower than my old '09 iMac.
    In order to understand what the problem was, I ran the system performance test included in Windows: all the ratings I have are maxed out at 7.9 (7.9 is the top I think), in exception of the "Disk Data Transfer Rate", that is 5.9. As far as I remember, this value is typical for a mechanical disk drive, not for an SSD drive supported with PCIe connections.
    Does anybody here got a similar issue? Is there any driver package that I have to install in addition to the Bootcamp drivers?
    Thanks in advance

    That is because the WEI uses your boot disk as the default device to measure performance, and, for instance, a Velociraptor 10 K disk, does not score more than 5.9. The story changes when the test is run on other disks, like my array:
    However, this measurement is totally worthless in real life. You should look at practical benchmarks like PPBM5 Benchmark

  • How to find the max data transfer rate(disk speed) supported by mobo?

    I plan on replacing my current HDD with a new and bigger HDD.
    For this I need to know the max data transfer rate(disk speed) that my mobo will support. However, dmidecode is not telling me that. Am I missing something?
    Here's dmidecode:

    I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
    So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
    Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
    1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
    2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
    I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section.

  • Difference in data transfer rates between winXP and Linux server?

    Hello all,
    I am using a winXP laptop to act as my server (all usb external hard drives are connected to it) but the data transfer rates can be really slow. Is Linux faster in that regard? Can a Linux based server provide faster data transfer rates?
    Thanks for any help.
    Bmora96

    Linux cannot make hardware go any faster - so if WinXP and its drivers are making optimal use of those USB drives and the USB data transfer pipe, Linux will not make it faster. (but installing Linux and going Tux are always excellent ideas that need no real reason either ;-) )
    Real question you should be asking is if using a notebook in a server role is wise thing to do?

  • K9N SLI PLATINUM low data transfer rate

    Hi, (sorry for my pour english) I had to go back to Winxp native SATA/IDE drivers and my pc crash & BSOD problem it's gone! :D (BSOD when i install some programs or some games, listening music and moving data at the same time, etc.) now i'm available to execute multitasks without any troubles. But now the transference it's quite poor  , I think this is an easy and temporary solution for this big problem.
    I bought my PC on 2006 and the Windows XP drivers are from 2001, aren't new Nvidia/MSI drivers to fix this annoying problem?
    Thanks.

    I've got nearly the same problem, but a little worse. My data transfer rate seems very slow for a 100mb network and if I start copying files over the network, after only a couple of megs I lose connectivity to the network completely! I've removed the network cable and windows notices this, and when I put it back in windows also notices the change, but the green and orange lights on the port itself stay on solid. If I reboot windows everything comes back. I don't have problems browsing the web, seems to only happen when the ethernat port is running close to full load (for the connection speed of 100mb as apposed to 1gb).
    Anyone else seen this? I'm on the latest drivers, the latest bios and I've tried disabling on of the network ports in the bios but his didn't work.

  • Data transfer rate Airport Extreme

    which is the data transfer rate of the USB port in the Airport Extreme (4ta. Generation)...???
    The HDD installed in that port, reads and writes very slow

    I executed the test and I have a rate of data transfer of 1.9 escrtura of Mb/s and 2.7 reading Mb/s…. this is very under… What I can do.?
    I even reinitiated the Airport and itself with the problem. I directly tested with the ports of iMac, and have DRT of 25.8 and 18.4 Mb/s
    Ok, I am assuming that your measurements are in Mega Bytes per Second (MB/s) and not Mega Bits per Second (Mb/s). Even so, I would agree that you are getting low data transfer rates.
    What is the make and model of the USB HDD that you have attached to the AirPort Extreme? Is it formatted in HFS+ or FAT32?
    Also, the 25.8 & 18.4 readings when you have this drive attached directly is a bit low as well. I would expect something more like: 35 MB/s (read) & 25 MB/s (write) for a USB 2.0-connected HDD.

  • Determining Data transfer rate through modem in java

    Hi,
    I want to write an application in java which will communicate with
    connected modem of the system and it will detect the data transfer rate.
    I want to know how much data is transferring(upload/download)through modem and in a specific time how much data is transferred.
    I will give some max upload/downloading limit for a specific time and if data transfer exceeds that limit,it will show message.
    e.g if i fix max upload/download data transfer limit by the modem is say 10GB/20GB for a specific time span say for 15 days.Then my program automatically will start when the Modem will be connected and keep a log of data transfer(upload/download)and if data transfer goes beyond limit then it will show message.Also i would be able to see how much data is transferred for any specific day.
    I want to know this type of application is possible in java.If yes then
    which API's i need to use.
    If this type of program is available in some site in other language then also i will be helpful.Pl give the links.

  • Limit Hyper-V Replication Data Transfer Rate

    Hello,
    i need to limit data transfer rate for Hyper-v replication because between two Datacenter have bandwidth limitation.
    Please suggest

    You can use the New-NetQoSPolicy cmdlet to set the throttling limits -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh967468.aspx. Based on the destination port (the port on which the replica server has been configured to receive replication traffic - maybe it's port 80 in your case) or the destination subnet, you can specify
    a throttling value (-ThrottleRateActionBitsPerSecond) or assign a weight (MinBandwidthWeightAction).
    Eg: New-NetQosPolicy "Replica traffic to 8080" –DestinationPort 8080 –ThrottleRateActionBitsPerSecond 100000
    or check the link to Thomas blog

  • Help! Bought a used iMac (2008) and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.  How do I retrieve or reset the password?

    Can anyone help...
    I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot. 
    How do I retrieve or reset the password?
    It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications.  When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.

    ShirlFromNC
    I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
    Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
    With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
    So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
    If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own.

  • Change data transfer rate ?

    Hi there,
    I have installed a new WD 1tb internal hard drive in my late 2006 iMac . I've managed to get over a problem I posted about earlier namely getting the Snow Leopard disc out and using my original Tiger 10.4 discs. Trouble now is despite following the instructions for formatting my new hard drive I keep getting input\output error coming up . I've googled a lot and I believe it may be because my intel Mac supports 1.5gbs a second transfer rate whilst the hard drive is 6gbs . I have a caviar blue advanced drive that has no jumpers to change , but I'm led to believe that would be the answer . I'm relatively new to all this but are there jumpers in the mac itself ? Or is there a way to change the rate so my Mac accepts and formats the drive ? On various sites it says the drive is compatible but not how to do this. Hope it makes sense lads I'm sooo stressed .
    Cheers

    Transfer rate won't cause this problem. Your Mac will only transfer data as fast/slow as it can, 1.5gbs. The HD transfer rate will automatically slow to 1.5gbs.
    What did you use to format the HD and what format did you use? It should be formatted to 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'. This can be easily done using the Disk Utility app that comes with OSX.
    Usually the jumpers are for making the HD a master or slave drive. You shouldn't have to mess with the new HD settings to make it work.

  • How can I check the data transfer rate of my FW800 port

    I have an iMac 2.4 20 inch (MB323LL/A) with a Lacie external rugged hard drive (320 GB). I have attached it using my FW800 port with the cable supplied with the drive.
    It seems slow to me so I was wondering if there is any way to see what the current data transfer is for a backup in progress. Of course it should be 800Mbps but is it really moving at that speed ? How can I tell what speed it is transferring at ? Can I use the same method for USB ports too ?

    When you move a large file, you are more likely to see a sustained transfer rate than a small file. Small files have to be individually read/write back and forth, thus slows the actual transfer rate down. If you are moving any file up to 4 GB and probably over 1 MB you'll see more realistic transfer rates. Furthermore your hard drive access time, and RPM figures into the equation too, as well as how much RAM you have. 800Mbps works out to 100 Megabytes per second under ideal conditions.

  • New Yoga 2 11 - Installed SSD but can't get Windows 8.1 to load

    I just bought the base model Yoga 2 with a traditional hard drive.  I have a brand new Samsung 830 256GB SSD drive that I wanted to install.  I read on Lenovo's support site that Lenovo no longer offers recovery disks, since this laptop doesn't have a built in CD/DVD drive.  But, the support article did say that you can make a recovery disk onto a USB drive.  So before I put the new SSD drive in, I created a recover disk on a USB drive.  I then pulled the original hard drive and installed the SSD.  I booted off the USB drive and did a reset my computer.  It starts restetting/restoring and only get's to 1% before it says "there was a problem resetting your PC".   It gives no additional information.  I've tried going into the advanced options and looking for a recovery image, but it can't find one...even though I am booting from the USB drive
    I called Lenovo support and talked to two different guys.  The first guy had me go into BIOS and try to change some settings, but apparently my BIOS was different than his, becuse I didn't have the exact same options.  The next support guy told me the only way to put windows on my new SSD is to order the recovery disks from Lenovo, but in my case it would have to be a recovery USB drive.  He wanted to charge me $69 for a recovery USB drive!  I told him I have a usb DVD drive and asked if he could send me disks instead, but he said the cost would be the same.  What is going on here???
    I can't believe this has to be so difficult.  Is the recovery option trying to find a recovery file on the new SSD and is that why it's failing?  Why can't Lenovo provide the customer with free recovery disks?  I follwed the instuctions exactly on the Lenovo documentation, but I assume this is only good for restoring the original hard drive.  Any one have a solution?

    hi jbobst,
    There are reports that you can't use the recovery drive with a blank HDD (like the case in this thread) but if the recovery drive files are correctly written, you should be able to restore on a blank HDD as discussed in this article. 
    Also, note that the "Copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive" is essential as this contains the recovery image (.wim file) that restores Windows into

    Alternatively, you can also try to migrate the HDD to the SSD.
    Using Samsung Data Migration Software:
    1. Download and install the Samsung Data Migration Software
    2. Connect the Samsung SSD to a 2.5" USB SATA Enclosure
    3. Choose the Source Disk and Targer Disk and click Start to begin the data migration process.
    4. Once the cloning is done, shut the machine off, remove the stock HDD and replace it with the Samsung SSD and observe.
