Hey all
I have the OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB SSD (Part No. OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G).
Realised today my SSD boots up rather quick, but takes a good literal 40-50 seconds to shutdown just hanging on "Windows is shutting down" then eventually does go off.. So I wondered what was up - after checking the BIOS I realised it was in IDE mode and not AHCI! So I checked my registry and it already had the 'Start' reg file value as '0' so I rebooted, set to AHCI - booted up seemed about 2/3 seconds quicker maybe - restarted and still slow at shutting down hanging for 40-50 seconds..
Also downloaded the OCZ Toolbox and updated the firmware as it was outdated had 1.13 then 1.23 then 1.33 (latest) so it's all up to date also..
Did a read/write test with AS SSD, and it is appauling !!
Tried using HD Tune Pro and Read speeds seemed good but couldn't let me do Write for some reason - just can't understand what is wrong..
Anyone have any bright ideas? Full rig specs are:
CPU - Intel Core i5 750 2.66GHz OC'd to 3.7GHz (Lynnfield) (Socket 1156)
Mobo - Asus P7P55D-E Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaw 8GB (4x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 C8 1600MHz
GPU - Asus ATI Radeon HD 6950 OC 2GB GDDR5
PSU - OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Certified Modular
HDD - The one as above and 1TB storage - 500GB Western Digital and 500GB Samsung F3 SpinPoint.
Screenies are below..
