I only get about 200mb read/writes on my i5 750 system, is this about right or should I be getting faster?

Yep that sounds about right with what I'm getting, it does depends on what program you are using to test it with as they use diffrent tests and ammount of data etc

With AS SSD:

Then ATTO Disc Benchmark (Which is probally what they use to get the 500mb/s stats):

Cool ta, Im on an older i5 than you, think the sata is pretty slow on it anyway.
 
Just checked out my drive with one of those graphical display programs which draws pictures of how much space everything is taking up.

240 is plenty for the stuff that can't be left on a storage drive.
 
While formatting my new agility 3 so I could clone my HDD across with proper alignment I managed to wipe the wrong drive.


When you use Diskpart it asks you what drive you want to molest, you have to specify the number the system has given it.

Then it asks you again...

And I didn't put the number in the second time so it destroyed the partition of the drive it was running on... :o

Cue instant system restart and one 2TB drive rendered useless.

I've not had that before, you select a disk or volume in diskpart (assume you're talking abotu command line diskpart not some third party program anyway) and it keeps that disk or volume selected for the duration of that session or until you switch manually?
 
First time I've used it so doubtless I did something wrong but the way it should have gone is...

diskpar -i X (drive number)

Think that displays drive info

diskpar -s X (driver number)

And that sets the partition


So somehow I put in the wrong number and it destroyed the partition it was running on = everything went to hell.


Wasn't as bad as it could have been, I'd cloned the drive earlier to another hard drive so when I realised my main drive had been borked I booted from the other.

It was posted above by a staff member that they have a similar failure rate to other drives. Stop spreading the worry seeds :)

No, the damage has been done, never ever touching another drive with Sandforce controller ever again. Just not worth the hassle
