Hey, I have been having this issue for a long time, but it is not extremely annoying so I decided not to bother with it. I have some free time now, so I figured maybe someone here would know what is going on.
Basically, the drive seems to have really good reads/writes, the values are what they should be. It performs fine when I am playing a game or doing everyday tasks; however, if I am installing something to the SSD then I pretty much have to let it focus on the installation. I can browse the internet alright, but I do notice some freezes even on there. It grounds games to a halt.
It does not seem to like scheduling writes from multiple applications.
I also notice that certain benchmarks make the drive make a kind of whining noise, which is very odd considering it is solid state.
Any thoughts on this? It's never died on me or anything, but I can't imagine other people have the same issue I am having with retail x25-ms.
This drive is an engineering sample, purchased from someone on this forum.
