StrangleHold

Cool,i actually never would have expected that.

Just curious, what kind of work do you do? Im guessing something to do with computers or electronics considering you really know your shit.

Congrats on post number #10,000

If you get a W/D, the Black series are good drives.

Yeah I did some more reading and it would seem I am not the only one with the issue on this select drive.

Seems like most ended up using it as a storage vs primary drive. The next drive I think will be a WD ^-^

Thanks again for your help stranglehold.

Found out something, Intel never went above UDMA 5 with their chipsets. Seems that since Sata drives came out they just never offered support above that in IDE mode. So running in UDMA 5 is nothing wrong for a Intel chipset. So that kinda kills the driver problem.

Well would appear it did nothing soon as I loaded up a few games it started to do it again.

Seems like after I get past 230GBs free space it starts to do this. I guess it will be stuck as a storage unit and I will purchase another primary later.

Dont think there would be any performance gain, unless. Thought there might be some driver glitch causing it to run in UDMA 5 in IDE mode, with the hang and all. That why I thought you ought to try SATA mode.

No it wont have any effect on your IDE drives.

Just curious if I run the AHCI mode....will my pATA drive still be able to work as a storage drive? I use it for "back ups" every month or so. I leave it unplugged when not in use to save some life on it.


Also I been reading a bit on AHCI while I am transferring stuff on to my back up drives and it claims there is no real performance gain by using it unless your running multiple drives/raid. How true is this?

Thanks for the help on my graphics card. I got it working again on my old motherboard im really confused at this moment because i dont know whats up? Haha thanks again for your help! =]
