Some weird Performance Results for Phoenix Pro 120GBP2

[DjNorad]

Well.... I have some weird Benchmark results from my Phoenix Pro 120G .....

Yesterday I completely fresh partitioned, formatted and then installed my Windows 7 64-Bit on this Drive.

System:
AMD Phenom II 940
AMD 790GX Board
4 GB Ram


Any Idea on this?

Thanks in advance.







Thats a lot better than before the fresh installation.... before that i did no fresh format. When i got the new phoenix pro, i just restored an old backup-image from my old SSD with clonezilla and the results were much worse and the system froze for 30-60 seconds very often...

it seems the freezes are gone now with the new format and install, but the benchmarks are still weird... especially the "4K" and "seq write" at AS SSD. The Alignment seems to be ok says AS SSD.
At ATTO there is the read performance with small packetsizes (4KB and 8 KB) that looks strange ...

I'm confused.




Just to be complete.... here are the old ones:

Hi DjNorad,
What the exactly model name of your motherboard?
In my experience, Intel chipset runs better performance on the SATA then AMD chipset.
What AHCI driver does your motherboard run now?
You can try to download the latest driver from the website of your motherboard and try to see is there any improvement.

Make a backup with Windows 7 and make a HDDERASE.EXE.
You'll see the results improve.
My best regards

@Ranxerox

Thank you. I'll try soon.

You mean just create a Clonezilla Image of the whole Disk (with all partitions on it) and then hdderase.exe?

You have any tips how i can easily make a usb-stick bootable and then use it for hdderase?

Thanks.

I used an HP application that I download from a page that I do not remember.
Asking You a floppy disk bootable to format system with the USB .
If you give me your private e-mail I send you the program.
I did it in another computer with XP but just vaca knows another method.

My best regards

Thanks ;-) Seems not to be necessary anymore ... I found a .iso file in the hdderase-Package.
So i burned a bootable cd from it now (i hope).

Thank u. ill try when i have a little bit time for it.

greets.

The aplication is called HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool

My best regards

hi there.... i made a win98 bootdisk.iso for my cdrom including hdderase.exe

i did follow the instructions of the hdderase thread here, but when i reach the drive-selection screen all 4 Ports show "NONE" there is NO disk listed ...

Yes, i did switch to IDE native mode in bios first ...


same issue when i use a dos6.22 bootable image with hdderase....


i am out of ideas....

DjNorad,
Did you set your SATA to IDE (compatible) mode in BIOS before you ran HDDerase?
It often can't detect SSD in SATA mode when run HDDerase.
