OCZ Summit SSD HDD questions
Please tell me what you think.
I have a 64GB OCZ Summit SSD HDD and i think i have a small trouble..While in WinXP almost everything went ok. i updated to Win7 x64 Ultimate about a month ago and i have the impresion that the HDD performance has fallen significantly!..Is there any good way to test my Hdd?..I thought of updating its firmware but i have to reformat and i am bored to do so right now..any ideas?

Is the drive connected directly to she system or are you using some kind of a raid controller? Using native\ahci controller?
You have to remember that Windows 7 does a lot even if you don't. There is windows search, background defragmentation, and some other tasks that want to utilize the hdd all the time.

You know that, I know that but tell this to Microsoft. Windows 7 should disable background defragmentation if you have a ssd drive present, but to be sure I would do it by hand. That also includes Superfetch, ReadyBoost, as well as boot and application launch prefetching. Those are designed to help with HDD's and may deacrase performance when using SSD's.
I get 5.6 on a 4-5 years old HDD. And I think it's slowing me down (10K raptor is pretty noisy so all intensive hdd operations are very noticeable :) and i think most of new drives are faster then those raptors. So windows performance index is not reliable.
Some good informations about Windows 7 and SSD drives.
