Can you post a source link b4 stating failures on these drives?Quote:

I don't care about any company - only their products. Somebody talking about failures with no proof is spreading FUD. Do you know what FUD is?Quote:

I haven't heard a single positive contribution from you yet on either forum, just a bunch of misdirected negativity, I'd probably ban you too.
Awesome results man.Quote:

It's not a money issue for me, it's more of a PITA, long boot-times, possible compatability issue, not to mention some of the cards have loud fans and get hot as hell. I'm still trying to maintain a fairly silent PC here...
Yep, that was my first post (and this is my second) - I'm just looking to buy a Titan 256, and have seen some negative reviews on NewEgg. Are they unsubstantiated?Quote:

(Hoping post 2 doesn't cause as much of an uproar)
I am running one of the 128GB Titans(replaced a 74GB Raptor), and they definitely do stutter still at times. I am still pretty happy with mine, and it's runs quite well 99% of the time. You will still want to apply some tweaks to get optimal performance out of this drive.
Most of the guys here are running their Titans in RAID with a decent controller, which negates all stuttering on even the 1st-gen Jmicron-based SSDs. Their results are not always going to be indicative of single-drive performance.
positive CONTRIBUTION is not just positive opinion about something!Quote:

if you haven't understood that, I AM (still of course) using their forums to learn some things about technology and to see when a competitive product will be out to drop prices on intel's ssds :)
I am USING the forum. I don't contribute to a company's forum! :yepp:
misdirected negativity is your reaction to louden's post
anyway, have fun with your mlcs :welcome:
EDIT:
In addition,
I find this post above
much more important than your findings.Quote:

Anyway, again, we need more than one user to make safe assumptions.
@aka1nas follow OCZ's guides on how to properly setup the drive if you haven't done so.
I already have applied most of the OCZ tweaks. The drive is fine for normal usage afterwards, but it is still not all that hard to choke it with random writes.
I am finding that disabling Superfetch is not worth it on a desktop (especially if you have other rmechanical drives still). Superfetch causes stuttering when you initially start up and it is populating RAM. Once that is complete, it seems to alleviate potential stuttering somewhat as it is probably freeing up the SSD to service more writes.
Disabling Superfetch does stop the initial stuttering on boot up, but I seem to get a lot more random stuttering with it off, where I get almost no stuttering during normal use with it on. It would make more sense to disable it on a laptop as you will likely be rebooting it more often.
Firefox was also killing performance until I moved my profile off the SSD.
Karateo, I don't think there's much else we need to say to each other that will benefit this thread.
I'm thinking RAID0 can and is making a pretty significant difference in the performance of small, random writes with these - even using the ICHxR. All of the performance related issues seem to be with single drive scenerios.
So we are talking about the same product as OCZ core series
aka1nas great great info man
thank you

I have yet to move things like browser cache or profiles. I will have to give it a try.
Thanks for your input.:up:
EDIT:
You moved your entire FF profile to another disk or just the cache as suggested by Tony OCZ?
I found moving the cache only to be insufficient as the Firefox crash protection is constantly writing data to the profile folder still and was causing massive stuttering if I had anything else writing to the SSD at the same time.
With the profile moved off to a mechanical disk, I can install two or more games or apps to the SSD at once without Firefox locking up.
More stable?? By what means? If you're system is unstable, then you have some problem, Windows doesn't crash by itself.Quote:

Since putting my disks on a ARC-1210 I haven't experienced the freezing I would sometimes see before. But the system would still be a little jerky at times. I didn't even really notice it until turning of superfetch made it go away.Quote:

How do you move firefox profiles to a mechanical drive. I have made a couple of attempts without success. A google search hasn't given me anything that I could work with. Perhaps a Windows 7 oddity.
Thanks,
