QUOTE(G-17 @ Nov 8 2010, 09:55 PM) F*ck Windows!! My power button to my vista x64 desktop only take 1 second using 7200rpm hard disk, how to do that? use resume from sleep feature. if you just want to boot windows faster, not really need SSD.My OCZ Agility goes from power button to completely usable Debian desktop in 9sec (my BIOS is slow and takes 3 - 4 seconds, if not it would be even faster) |

QUOTE(G-17 @ Nov 9 2010, 01:17 PM) Cold Boot =/= Sleep Wake up from sleep mostly applicable to desktop only, for laptop, unless it is just off for few hours, then it is fine, otherwise, sleep is not an option.Sleep still drains battery, and if you're on the road with your netbook (even if it has a 6cell battery) without your charger for days, Sleep will eventually become completely, utterly, battery-drainingly useless. But I completely understand your point ... Even after the desktop appears you're can't really do anything on Vista cos your disk is busy thrashing itself like a doped up simian crack-hoe, rendering it unusable for the next minute or so .... hence your need for Sleep/Resume. Lastly, your 1sec wake-up-from-sleep time is bollocks. No version of windows I've tried (not even win 7 on a Core i7) can wake up to a usable desktop in 1 sec. Actually, no version of any OS can wake up from Sleep/Suspend in 1 sec. Granted, Linux is pretty bad with wake up times, but even OSX Leopard and Snow Leopard (reportedly the best at resuming from sleep/suspend) still takes more than 1 sec. Once my PC is wakeup from sleep, it is pretty responsive and immediately usable, in my case, the hard disk doesn't incurs high I/O operations, I think my 4G RAM does help. Okay, 1 sec is estimated, to be precise, it is around 1.5 second, at most 2 seconds, no bluffing. BTW, there is one OS can be wake up in 1 second, it is iPad IOS 4  My PC is always turn to sleep instead of shut down, I don't shut down my PC unless I need to open the casing. |

QUOTE(Lurker @ Nov 25 2011, 05:53 PM) Diagnostics stuck at 34% My Intel X18-M 160GB also had exactly the same issue with you, and the SSD is dead, A smart attribute 184 (B8) error indicates End-to-End error, from the Intel communities forum, it is because of the bad cache in the SSD controller. doesn't look good  [attachmentid=2553157][attachmentid=2553238] looks like goner  Is your SSD bought from the lowyat forum seller which sell OEM Intel SSD at very cheap price? I got my Intel SSD 160GB at RM350, I thought it was a good deal, now I realized again cheap stuff doesn't come with quality. the cheap OEM SSD should be a much inferior version that fail easily. |
