I think it says, "AmIdYfReAk is gAy!"

That does indeed look to be way off. Is it noticeably slow or just on par with your other drives?

Post by **AmIdYfReAk** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 6:41 am

on par if not a little slower than the 250gig Maxtor SATA2 drive that they replaced..

when i get a little time tommorow, i'll test out the single 32gig rapter that is running in onr of my older nforce 2 mobo based puter..

i seriously think it will beat them out ( its actually faster in windows than this box... beleve it or not )

Post by **AmIdYfReAk** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 5:43 pm

here is the single 36gig on a Nforce 2 IMPP

Post by **obsidian** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 6:27 pm

Still slower than ATA? Sounds like a problem with the mobo. Tried updating firmware and chipset drivers?

I hate to say it again, but, nforce chipsets are junk.

Btw, this is another case of amidy having all his expensive toys and my junk pc blowing them all away. 2nd time today and it's only 2pm!

edit- btw those are WD 7200rpm 40GB 8mb cache drives.

To be succinct, some nForce 680i motherboards have SATA issues. Data seems to get corrupted for no reason causing BSODs and corrupted hard drive errors. Obviously there is a reason, but the problem to the end user may seem very sporadic.

NVIDIA’s track record at HardOCP with storage controller solutions over the life of the nForce brand has been poor to say the least, but has been getting better as NVIDIA has moved forward.

Also some good information here, stating that the problems may indeed be resolved by new BIOS.

This is more helpful?

(the help was in the first post where I told you nforce chispets are junk :P)

edit- and just for the record, I was already looking for this info for you before I saw your last post. =)

Post by **AmIdYfReAk** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 12:48 am

you've got a fucked up way of helping people :/

Anyway, yea, i've heard the same, and i've read the same.. that is whats getting me to flash the bios..

i will report back after the flash

I must first establish my supremacy, then I can dole out the assistance to the little people.

Post by **AmIdYfReAk** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 1:47 am

Bios flash did NOTHING!!!

except remove all of my O/c settings and jazz...

Sorry, my post above should have had 2 different links. The 2nd one should have been
http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.h ... VzaWFzdA==

Some people have been installing the new BIOS without any immediate issues being solved, but I think the issue might lay at the feet of the end user. The ugly part of this easy BIOS update is the fact if you already corrupted data on your hard drive, this BIOS update is not going to fix that. So you will of course need to install a fresh operating system as well as reinstall all of your applications.

welp, i wont be installing them for a little, i've just finished formatting back to the sata2 drive... pulling 275mbs now

one thing that i did notice and they didnt mention in there was after the Flash, it re-dected the PCI to PCI bridges...

it was rather interesting.
