REPLACING SAMSUNG 840 WITH SANDISK ULTRA II

The drive arrived yesterday…  Made the swap from 840 to Ultra II and copied all data back onto new SSD…

Dashboard says all is current… Tests indicate it is faster than 840 was (when it was new).

Used it with Premiere Pro CS6.05 as a Cache and Video Database Drive… and it worked quite successfullly…

The reason why I relaced the 840 with an Ultra II drive is because the 840 slowed down over time, and this slowdown rippled into the Adobe applications, making all drives slower…

Samsung support says the Plain Vanilla 840 does not do this, only other versions of the 840 drive…  and my driver version is current…     

I obviously disagree with Samsung, but that doesn’t get me anywhere…

So I’ve replaced the Samsung 128Gb 840 with a SanDisk 240GB Ultra II…

Ask me next year how it’s working out!!!   :)!
