Update: Crap, I just read this post on the Mushkin support forums. The Marvell sata 6g controller on my mobo maxes out at those speeds. I still really like the drive and this is still the best deal out there. Anyone with a newer motherboard shouldn't have the same problem just do you're research.

Sadly I will live with these numbers, as I can't justify a mobo swap , hell going from a 7200rpm hdd to a ssd even at them speeds is well worth it imho.

FYI Amazon has price matched the egg.

Anyone know if this drive will need a firmware update out of the box?

I picked one of these up from Newegg the other day. The price was to good to pass up.

10QD really why? most controllers support 32 why not that? considering any large file transfer is done at 1QD..

you trying to poopoo a drive?

there really should be a unthanks button

EDIT: seriously waht the hell. 10 aint even a natural binary number. Unless you mean the number of people that understand binary. Those that do and those that do not.

I didn't post a benchmark but after reading this I checked mine and it auto loads at 4QD and maxes at 10QD. Is this because any higher is not supported?

nd4spdbh2 · 04-18-12, 01:59 PM

like i said before can we please get a full atto disk benchmark on a good sata 3 chipset (ie any intel chipset that has sata 3?)

Trueweltall · 04-18-12, 02:06 PM

I bought one of these last week as well but I haven't gotten it in the mail yet.

cw823 · 04-19-12, 07:38 AM

Did anyone notice the newegg reviews on these drives are horrid?

trekky · 04-19-12, 07:42 AM

^^ not really
my SSD (in sig) is alot worse in the reviews
me? i love this drive no problems at all
im just thinking that most ppl on newegg who review are morons
IE: i dropped my SSD and it broken 1 egg!
or: this SSD is green and i wanted a black SDD 1egg!

Trueweltall · 04-19-12, 09:41 AM

I don't really go by the reviews to be honest, how many people buy the item and don't make positive reviews? Probably thousands. I think the only time I write a review is when something doesn't work.

cw823 · 04-19-12, 09:44 AM

I do to some extent, when I see lots of DOA I normally look at another product. DOA is pretty hard to screw up.

Trueweltall · 04-19-12, 03:19 PM

I received mine in the mail today, it works fine.

It seems that way with a lot of ssd drives excluding maybe the crucial m4's. I thought mine was messed up at first with bsod's but I upgraded my video card at the same time and my rig was just overheating. Got that sorted out and it's been rock solid.

Without even reading the reviews extensively I would be willing to bet the majority of bad reviews are from before the Sandforce firmware update that fixed issues including the BSOD bugs that affected all Sandforce drives. Try sorting them by date and see if more recent reviews are better.

PicodeGallo · 04-27-12, 08:20 AM

This drive is on a Shell Shocker for $99.99 today from 1-2:59 PM PST.
