Peterch who does not own or has never used an SSD claims that every single ssd on the market bar intel have this problem.

I personally have 128gb SSD made by samsung and have experienced no problems at all. Infact this drive is unbelievably fast.

I also have seen a dell mini in action with an 8gb ssd and also 0 problems.

So who here has experienced this problem that peterch has experienced on his SSD drives.
 
The Jmicrons are problematic and all the cheap SSDs use this controller, Samsung make their own SSD controller chips.

These Jmicrons have a bug were the OS will just pause intermittently.

LOL - getting personal there eh? How do you know what I've used or haven't used? You think that if I spend $3,000 on a laptop I won't buy a $750 SSD?

Qualitative, anecdotal point, hardly it enough to refute AnandTech.

Same.

Aren't you taking this a bit personally?

Maybe not the controller problem but have you see Intel's write performance vs Samsung's?

43MB/sec vs 0.43MB/sec?

Anyway.... I'm getting an Intel. Thanks for your advice.
 
I haven't experience this at all with either of my Samsung 128GB, Samsung 64GB or Patriot Warp 32GB.

I've had mine in my 3 PC's for some months now, and there's no sign of slowing down or pausing. My main XP SP2 system still boots within 15 seconds of the initial Windows boot screen (after the POST), and that's getting it to the desktop with all startup apps and 45 services loaded! No single Raptor or SATA2 7200 is going to do that! ;p :D

I haven't tried it on Vista or Win 7 yet - planning to when the RC for Win 7 is released...
 
I have a Samsung 64 GB SSD that is 10 months old in daily use and have had no problems. It's very fast (and it's not even the latest generation). I'll never go back to hard drives where possible.
 
Yea this is what i thought, must be a test that intel made to increase sales, or the test is nothing more than a test.
