It’s been a few months since I replaced the Samsung 840 with a SanDisk Ulta II drive.
If I had erased and reloaded the 840 instead of replacing with a SanDisk Ultra II… by now the speed would have started to decrease.
(That’s What Samsung Support told me I had to do: “Your drive does not exhibit the firmware issue other models do so there will be no firmware update, but you can erase and re-load the drive if you want to speed it up”) How’s that for a Non-Statement?
I am not seeing a speed decrease with the SanDisk II drives, in either a Raid 0 configuration, or single drive configuratioin. Unfortunately I’m on on SATA II Controller…
The Samsung? It was moved to a shirt pocket USB2/3 enclosure, whose interface is slower than the slowdown issue, but still fasteer than a spinning hard drive… This was me making the best of a bad situation…
