This computer is fucking me off

[steve_t]

IDE (ATA) throughput=133mbyte/s
native/via AHCI comparable speeds.
(native SATA throughput =3GB/s-6 GB/s)
pci-e throughput= 16GB/s .real world.
average mech drive read/write speed = 100MB/s (depend RPM)
average SSD read/write speed = 250MB/s

so will it bottleneck running AHCI/IDE.... you tell me.

Ummm... you're confusing interface speeds with protocols. Whichever mode you set it in, you're still connected via SATA.

I can't be fucked diagnosing the fault or having anything more to do with this computer, so it's for sale if anyone is keen. Specs are as follows:

i7 2600K
Thermalright Venomous X cooler
8GB GSkill 1333MHz 9-9-9-24 1T
Sapphire 6950 2GB with shader unlock mod
500GB Seagate HDD
2TB WD Green HDD
Chieftek full tower case
Corsair TX950 PSU
Asus P8P67 Pro motherboard

My loss is your gain so make a sensible offer.

200.00 neat, if you throw in a bottle of bourbon my way

The video card is worth more than that.

Selling the SSD?

[jonbuoy]

Why not take it to a pro to have a look at?

Selling the SSD?

I'm keeping that to use in my new Pentium 4 with 512MB of RAM and Linux. Winning.

CBF dealing with all the problems. Seems to have something else blow every few months and I don't have time or money to maintain it. If I don't get a good offer then I might keep it till I can be bothered fixing it or stripping it for parts.

225.00 then, you tight bastard

50$ and a bag of chips.


...why dont you plug it into your aprillia.... double negatives=positive, right?

[SMOKEU]

Just replaced SSD with a new one and have the same problem. Still keeps restarting. Time I cut my losses I think.

(try it and see)

I have. Have you?

Oh look, in the Indilinx read speed benchmark, the IDE was faster and transferring at 194.2 MB/s. OMG, surely that's IMPOSSIBLE given your knowledge of computers! These benchmark testers obviously have no idea what they're talking about.

In summary, yes AHCI is generally faster. No, IDE mode over SATA is NOT limited to the speed of the older IDE interface. AHCI has advantages such as NCQ.

If you wind up splitting the lot up I'll give you $100 for the 2Tb drive.

[avgas]

Yup, I've spent over $3k on it in the past year and I don't get more than 3 months out of it before something else goes wrong.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Give you $250 for it

[pzkpfw]

Have you tried Linux?

[steve_t]

Have you tried Linux?

Hahaha... Gold!
