Disk MAnagement has the option to select a particular drive as active or not

Basically its true, but I trust Utorrent's in-built Disk cache management feature so no worries

�ŞħĬΩĵΐŦ�� All Stars 19,309 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Klang	QUOTE(wildwestgoh @ Jun 23 2010, 03:09 PM) Not the SSD's JMicron, it's the mainboard southbridge JMicron, might be the reason, no harm to try other ports, best to try Intel chipset ports. Chnaged from SATA5 to SATA 1 and the speed still the same Oh well....I'll just live with it At least the avg read and write is still fast Added on June 23, 2010, 9:27 pmDouble checked again with HD Tune Both drives around max 135MB/sec Avg around 110MB/sec and above, means all is well This post has been edited by shinjite: Jun 23 2010, 09:27 PM
