P6NSLI Platinum with SSD Corsair ForceGt 120GB at SATA I speed MS-7350

The problem is the drive is running at SATA I speed not SATA II. Tried IDE mode, then Raid mode with AHCI enabled, Win7x64, with same SATA I result. No way to select SATAII in BIOS or Nvidia SATA driver. Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

In any case, what BIOS Version are you currently using? 1.7
How exactly do you know that the drive is working in SATA-I mode? 1) Nvidia driver has a self-test built in and shows the SATA mode as 1 2) Crystal diskmark sequential read is 130 MB/s
Did you install the latest NVIDIA chipset & controller drivers (download them from NVIDIA directly)? YES
Your drive has the latest firmware on it? --> http://www.corsair.com/ssd/force-series-gt-ssd/force-series-gt-120gb-sata-3-6gbps-solid-state-hard-drive.html
[/quote] YES, it came with the latest firmware

My MacBook Pro 2010 unable to link with SSD at SATA 2, 3 Gb speed

I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid-2010 that I used with the standard 5400 RPM HDD for about a year. Last week I decided to replace it with an SSD, the Corsair Force GT 120 GB to be more precise. I knew that my MacBook Pro model only supports SATA I & SATA II & that the SSD is backwards compatible. I expected (and still expect) the SSD to link up at SATA II 3 Gb speed.
However, System Profiler gives the following information:
NVidia MCP89 AHCI:
Vendor:          NVidia
Product:          MCP89 AHCI
Link Speed:          3 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed:          1.5 Gigabit
Description:          AHCI Version 1.30 Supported
Corsair Force GT:
Capacity:          120,03 GB (120.034.123.776 bytes)
Model:          Corsair Force GT
Revision:          1.3.3
Benchmark tests show my write & read speeds are at about 100 & 110-130 MB/s. I have searched for a while on this and other forums and not been able to find a way to get negotiated link speed at 3 Gb and then to check whether this solves the rather sluggish performance.
Some extra info that might be useful:
-The 1.3.3 firmware of the SSD is the latest available. There are also no updates available via Apple Software Update.
-The SSD is the only drive in my system. After booting to the Mac OS X Lion DVD I had created, I used the disk tool to partition the new drive with the settings at GUID partition table & HFS+ Journaled. I haven't experienced any other problems.
-I have reset the SMC, PRAM & NVRAM. This didn't change anything.
-I haven't installed any Windows version using Boot Camp (yet).
-System has Boot ROM Version:          MBP71.0039.B0B and SMC Version (system):          1.62f6
Thank you in advance.

Guys, have any of you tried these:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacBook_Pro_EFI_Firmware_Update_1_7_
http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/macbook-pro-update-rights-the-wrong-enables-3 gbps-sata-transfer/
Or solved the problem any other way? I'm thinking on buying a SSD.

How to update a MacBook Pro 17 inch mid 2010 with SSD?

I know that this question probably been asked many times before, but i can't really find the answers to my specific questions.
I want to update my MacBook Pro 17 inch mid 2010 / 2,66-GHz Intel Core i7-processor, 8 GB memory, running latest Mavericks version (full specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP581?viewlocale=nl_NL) with a SSD (i think a 500GB) to speed up my MacBook Pro.
I have about 400GB of data, personal and work related (mostly design work) that is really important to me of course. I use 3 harddrives (one offsite) at the moment to backup everything using Time Machine which works great, because i always can fall back on it when i delete something accidentally.
The physical installation looks quite simple to do, but i have some questions about the entire procedure i hope someone can help me with:
Which SSD will fit in my Macbook Pro the best (specs)? What to look for?
And what about TRIM support to make SSD last longer, i heared that Apple default drives that come with the Mac will support TRIM, but what about any other SSDs on the market do support it and if so which ones?
There are different ways to do install SSD, but what is best procedure?
Clone HDD to SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner or restore from Time Machine?
Clean install with Bootable USB flash drive with Mavericks and restore from Time Machine?
Buy a USB enclosure for SSD and Clone HDD to SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner first and boot it to check and than install the drive?
Could anybody help me with this?
Thank you.

Look here for the maximum memory for each MBP model:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/by_capability/actual-maximum-ram-capacity-of-mac s.html
The limit is given by the memory controller ("northbridge").
There are no thermal drawbacks expanding the memory to the maximum supported limit...
However, as explained, often Apple did specify an "official" maximum RAM amount which is in reality shorter than the real value, simply because, when the machine was launched, memory sticks of the proper size for giving maximum capacity were not available.
Apple never revises the specs after the launch...
But this did not happen in your case: the maximum memory for mid-2010 Core machines appears to be effectively just 8 Gb, form the page linked above...
Final remark: in my experience, the SSD counts much more than memory for speeding up a laptop! As you already have 8 Gb, there is little value to expand to 16Gb even if it was posisble. Better to invest the same money in a larger SSD...
I expanded mine because it was equipped with just 4 Gb, and purchasing 16Gb Corsair was costing as 8 Gb Crucial. However, it was not a wise choice, those cheap Corsair memories were bad, the seller had to exchange both sticks...
If I could come back, it was better to spend more and buy Crucial memory sticks!

Tecra R940 with SSD Windows 7 boot failure

My company has purchased Tecra R940 laptops and are replacing the existing HDD with Kingston SSDNow 200 V+ 120GB SSD drives. On a test unit after installing the SSD, the laptop was rebuilt with our corporate image (Windows 7 x64) which completed successfully.
Post build however a number of issues are apparent:
1. Occasionally during a reboot, the laptop will post and then hang at the "starting windows" screen before the Windows logo animation is displayed and with the hard drive light on solid. After a period of time an Windows recovery is attempted and eventually an error reported:
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred
This issue does not occur at every boot but once in every 2 or 3.
2. The following error is logged in the Windows System log
Source: ATAPI
Event ID: 11
Description: The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0
I have tried the following in order to resolve the issue:
1. Upgraded the R940 BIOS to latest available (6.40).
2. Confirmed that the BIOS SATA Controller Mode is set to AHCI.
3. Confirmed there are no available SSD drive firmware updates.
4. Installed the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver from Toshiba (11.0.0.1032).
5. Tried an alternate SSD. Same errors noted, so not a faulty SSD.
6. Tried the SSD in a Toshiba Portege R930. In this case the errors above are not apparent.
7. Reinstalled the original HDD. In this case the errors above are not apparent.
8. Confirmed a 2nd unit (with SSD installed) logs the same Event ID 11.
My testing has left me at a point where I believe there is something wrong at the R940 end with either hardware or software that does not like SSD's.
Has anyone resolved a similar problem or have any thoughts on resolving this?
Thank you in advance.

> Reinstalled the original HDD. In this case the errors above are not apparent
So using an HDD everything works properly
So the controller seems to be OK.
I searched for Even ID 11 error description and the Event ID 11 source disk means The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR0
There are many people having such issue with different notebooks and different SSD drives.
There is also different recommendation to solve this:
Someone could solve this my SSD drive firmware update
The other one solved this by running a full SMART scan with repair (reallocation of unstable sectors)
There is also an newer version of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver available on Intel page.
So its worth to update this,

T500 - SSD Corsair Force 3, unreliable Windows 7 start

I put SSD Corsais Force 3 240GB in my T500. My installation is simple - clean W7 and few basics + one audio programme, nothing more. While working smooth and fast overall, there is a consistent problem with Windows start (or restart). Every 2nd, 3rd or 4th time, there is a problem:
1) stuck at Thinkpad initial screen
2) stuck after that with white line blinking in the left corner
3) stuck with black screen after that
4) stuck with "starting windows" message
5) blue death (happened already thrice)
In all the cases I make force switch off and after that Windows start smoothly and quickly, as if nothing happened before. So starting a system is quite a lottery for me, it may or may not start.
Could SSD cause this strange behaviour in principle ?
Or it can be some hardware/software problem ? As I said - my installation is new, clean, with very few things, I plan to use it only for audio work ...nothing else

I don't really have a solution for this problem since i experienced a lot of issues with SSD's that use a Sandforce controller in a Thinkpad. Also when searching for help there seems like a lot of people had similar issues with SSD's on other systems (not only Lenovo) that use a Sandforce Controller like OCZ Vertex 3, Corsair Force 3 and so on. So based on my own experience i will never buy a SSD with a Sandforce controller again and never managed to solve some of the issues we experienced. So my recommendation is to buy a SSD with either the Marvell controller (like the Corsair Performance Pro or Plextor M3p), Indilinx (like the OCZ Vertex 4) or Samsung 830 that use a Samsung controller. The company i work for got almost 300 Thinkpads and we tested a lot of SSD's. We found most of them to work fine and these four without any issues at all. For SSD's with Sandforce controllers we had so many problems i cannot imagine why all of the reviews don't focus more on the lack of stabililty instead of the performance for the SF SSD's.
I guess this is not the answer you were hoping for and not much help, but if you find a solution please let us know since there seems like many others never managed to solve the problems including myself. I believe this is a Corsair firmware problem and not a Thinkpad problem so you could try to ask for help in the Corsair forum or contact Corsair support for help. They might be better suited to solve this problem even if it seems like the SF controller instability is a never ending story.

MSI K8N-NEO-PLATINUM nForce3 250 + Corsair vs.

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a new computer with a MSI motherboard and now thinking if these will correct and have no direct problems, MSI K8N-NEO-PLATINUM nForce3 250GB + Corsair VS512MB400 Value Select 512Mb DDR PC3200 400MHz 184pin Unbuffered CL2.5. I'm not the guy who is intresserd in overclocking and such things.
Will that motherboard and memory correct good with each other ?
Sorry for my bad english. :D
//Johan
EDIT: I think I made this topic in the wrong forum. Mods move it to AMD64 nVidia Based board ?

MakubeX,
I have the Antec True Power 480. Unfortunately it only has 22 or 23 amps (the specs and the label on the psu have different ratings ) on the +12V rail. Most of the folks here recommend a power supply with at least 24 amps.
The good news is that the system in my sig is working flawlessly so the extra 1 or 2 amps don't seem to make a big difference, at least in my case. I will say, however, that according to Core Center my +12V rail runs around 11.5 volts, which is low and nearly out of ATX sepc. The low voltage will result in higher amperage draw...but again, the system is stable.
I wish you good luck

MSI K8N Neo Platinum with Vapochill Case problems - Help anyone. :)

Hi all,
Had a bit of a tricky problem and as Im new to this board I have no idea what could be causing this.
First all all system specs:
Athlon 64 3700+ Clawhammer
MSI K8N Neo Platinum -
1 gig Corsair XMS ProL Low Latency Ram (2 x 512mb)
Nvidia Gefore 6600GT
1 x WD Raptor 10000rpm HD
NEC 2500a DVD writer.
Eye-T 550w PSU.
Vapochill SE Case with installed Vapochill Phase change cooling.
Here are photos of it in its present state, you will notice that it isnt installed in the case at the moment.
The reason for that is because the two wont work together and I want them to so so bad...
So, hopefully someone here can save the day for me - here goes.
I have tested the Motherboard and all other componants outside of the case and everything runs smoothly and there are no problems what so ever, great.
I have also retested the Vapochill case with another motherboard and that also works without a hitch.
The problem comes when I insall the MSI board into the system, all hooked with a really basic setup, PSU, Case cooling, CPU and Ram. Flick the on switch on the power suply and the system turns on for around 1/2 a second then turns off again. I found this strange because it soundnt come on at all until I press the power button.
If I press the power button the same thing will happen over and over.
I have tried a different powersupply and this does nothing at all.
I have checked for shorts and there is no possible way it is shorting on anything.
I have a fan plugged in where the CPU fan would go and this doesnt help.
I have taken it back out and tested it again and it still works ok.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Are there any secret Bio's menu's that would have an option that would solve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Glenn

When you are running the MoBo standalone, what are you connecting to the Power, Reset, HDD, etc. pins ? Are you using the wires from the Vapochill case, or something else ? It looks like a single cable with an intermittent switch (red/white cable). I once had a similar sort of problem and it was because I hadn't connected up (the incredibly fiddly) cables correctly. Other than that, I would have gone for a short of some sort - but you have checked that already, so . . . .
As to the system starting to power-up when you switch on the PSU, I wouldn't worry too much about this. It seems to happen from time to time with some of my systems - amongst other things, the BIOS can be set to resume to previous state after a power-fail.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum with Western Digital 750Gb Caviar Green 32mb

Hi all, this is my first post and im a bit of a numbskull when it comes to upgrading, thus this post.
My HDD is on its last legs and I want to get a Western Digital 750Gb Caviar Green 32mb. Im not sure weather it will work with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (MS-7025). Can anyone help me out? If you have any suggestions for a better HDD to go for that would also be appreciated, Cheers

Burst speeds are high mainly because of the disk's cache. That's the only part of the HDD that can get near the maximum bandwdth of the controller.
The bottleneck for speed is in the fact that the HDD's mechanical properties won't allow it to work faster. With SSD's it is or will be different.
Back to topic: the WD Green is an excellent choice. I've 6 of those running here now, 5 in a NAS and 1 in my pc and they're simply good. Not the fastest, but very stable, quiet and fast enough.

HDD Freezing and dissapear with SSD + P67A-GD55

Hello people
I have just renove my computer and bought this:
CPU     QuadCore Intel Core i5 2500K, 3450 MHz (35 x 99)
Motherboard   MSI P67A-GD55 (MS-7681)
GraphicCard   NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (1024 MB)
Memory G Skill F3-12800CL9-2GBXL   2 GB DDR3-1600 DDR3 SDRAM
Sound     Creative SB X-Fi XtremeMusic/Platinum Sound Card
SSD    OCZ-VERTEX2 ATA Device (SATA-II)
I have just add also my old CorsairHX520W powersupply plus one Western Digital Green of 2TB and one Velociraptor of 300GB
The thing is that when I finish of installing Windows 7 x64 and all the drivers, when I for example use intensely the Velociraptor it freezes and finally dissapear of my computer. And then after a lot of reboot i cant initiate Windows. I am desperate. I think is related with Intel RST drivers, SATA or ACHI.
If you need to know I have install all in ACHI mode, Vertex2 in SATA0 port, Velociraptor in SATA1, and the GreenCaviar2TB in SATA3.
Any suggestions or ideas to fix it? Thanks!

Since the OP hasn't done a followup post since April, we don't really know the outcome. No indication if he had a B2 board or a B3. It would be best if you open a fresh new thread. Please include all the systems components.

HI AaronYuri, thanks for the response but I have tried the cards switched and the cables swapped/reversed, I have tested the cards on there own in the board, I have just noticed that when I do system information it can see the both cards on the board but it only give me the memory information for one of the cards, not sure if this is relevant but assume that because I am using the main card for my display the others is not being used.

Put HDD to sleep with SSD

Hello,
I have a question for SSD users. I have a late 2008 unibody macbook pro. I just installed effortlessly an OCZ vertex 2 120gb ssd. Love the speed! I read around the internet that you should not check put hdds to sleep under energy saver for ssds. Is this true? My question would be the following:
I also heard that OCZ has some garbage collection algorythm that makes up for Mac's lack of TRIM support. If I put hdds to sleep when possible does it mean that the garbage collection will not work? What is the advantage of NOT putting hdds to sleep with SSD?
Finally, I am planning to install a second hd instead of my superdrive, a normal hd that is (seagate xt 7200). I suppose that having it means I should put the hdds to sleep when possible, am I right?
In case I should not put to sleep the ssd, can I select two different settings for the two different drives?
Sorry if this sounds confusionary, it sounded a lot better in my mind...
Thanks for any tips!

I also heard that OCZ has some garbage collection algorythm that makes up for Mac's lack of TRIM support.
I dont think garbage collection (and over provisioning) makes up for lack of TRIM support, but certainly helps it in that direction.
If I put hdds to sleep when possible does it mean that the garbage collection will not work? What is the advantage of NOT putting hdds to sleep with SSD?
I think you are asking - "If I put ssds to sleep when possible does it mean that the garbage collection will not work?", since hdds don't have the garbage collection.
Well, from (http://www.ocztechnology.com/aboutocz/news/151) and (http://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/technology/features/article.php/3850436) it seems that, according to OCZ's Chang, some of their ssds use idle time garbage collection. If yours came with a spec manual, I would look there.
The way Chang puts it is:
+OCZ's goal is to keep SSD performance at peak levels over the drive's lifespan. OCZ, he said, uses two basic garbage collection methods: incorporating the maintenance within firmware, and providing user-initiated tools to accomplish the same task. OCZ provides three different garbage collection methods, said Chang.Some OCZ drives feature idle-time garbage collection in the firmware, including PCI-Express and high-capacity 3.5-inch SSDs, which aim for high-performance endurance. OCZ's mainstream 2.5-inch SSD solutions ship with TRIM support, which is enabled on Windows 7 and various Linux versions.+
+For users who prefer Windows XP or Vista, OCZ provides a manual garbage collection tool that can be initiated at the user's discretion, said Chang, noting that the company also provides a garbage collection upgrade firmware for XP and Vista systems. "Garbage collection is just one more tool in OCZ's feature sets that helps sustain the revolutionary performance of SSDs over the long term," said Chang.+
So, if yours uses the idle time, it may need not benefit from a nap, although I can not find anywhere that suggest how long idle time is.
I find the whole OCZ presentation rather sloppy. I am sure they have good drives, but after reading on OCZ, it makes me want to take a nap.

CHKDSK fails on fresh install of Windows 7 x64 on mid-2009 MBP with SSD

There was an earlier post about this that has been archived prematurely that I will reproduce below. The main issue is a flaw in the Windows 7 x64 CHKDSK of the SSD drive in the mid-2009 MBP= 5,2. With fresh OSX installs, bootcamp 3.1, Windows 7 x64 all updates, the CHKDSK operation checks files at about 1 per second in stage 4 of 5, verifying file data.
Moderators: please leave this open until it is actually resolved.

Windows 7 x64, MacBook Pro, frequent CHKDSK after HDD firmware update
Posted: Nov 2, 2009 6:45 AM
Hello, I have been having filesystem problems on my Windows 7 partition since the HDD related firmware update (the latest Performance update) was released and installed onto this mid 2009 MacBook Pro.
The HDD is a 500 GB 7200 RPM model, but it never gave me any troubles under OS X before the "fix" and I know other users had intermittent problems with the HDD on their MacBook Pro's related to the HDD making noises and pausing.
The fix was released, I installed it and I started seeing my first problem in Windows 7 x64 a few days after... I cleanly shut the OS down, but when I booted it back it asked me to perform a coherency check to the Filesystem... I thought that the problem was related to the fact that I was using the RC1 build of Windows 7... although that problem never manifested itself in the weeks before the Performance Update (HDD firmware fix) was installed and Windows 7 x64 RC1 had been on there and used frequently.
I recently purchased Windows 7 retail a few days ago and after a bit of trouble-free operation I started having problems again... always shutting the PC down carefully and I was asked to run the CHKDSK utility at boot twice already.
What to do?

Re: Windows 7 x64, MacBook Pro, frequent CHKDSK after HDD firmware update
Posted: Nov 12, 2009 1:40 AM in response to: Panajev
Hi there,
I have a different experience. I installed Windows 7 before the "performance update 1.0" came out. I actually experienced the chkdsk launch problem with Windows 7. I had done repartitioning and clean-install several times but cannot solve the problem. So I tried to install XP and Vista on my MBA (Mid 2009 with SSD) and found that these two OS doesn't introduce such problem.
To be honest, I'm not sure which caused such problem, Windows 7, a bootcamp driver, or EFI. But I'm sure that CHKDSK in Windows 7 has an obvious bug that needs to be patched (memory leak and maybe this problem as well). So now I'm using Windows Vista SP2. And I'm happy with Vista SP2 (seems to become faster and stable now).
Cheer,
