My previous SSD another manufacturer wanted on an Intel Z68 chipset is no longer working properly and adopted regularly with blue screens when I had to run the motherboard instead of AHCI due to RAID1 in RAID mode. Changed to AHCI she ran flawlessly again.
The conversion of the old SSD in the multimedia PC with AMD 880 chipset (AM3) succeeded either. Despite reinstallation and AHCI mode, this did not function properly there. Spontaneous blue screens without special actions on my part were rare but still present.
This Intel SSD running for several months without error and quickly in both systems and each controller mode. The indicated speeds are + -. A few% tolerance and various external factors well met.
Speed slumps after prolonged use or fuller SSD I could not tell. Depth power modes like Hibernate function of Windows without any problems and the system wakes up without errors.
A firmware update from Intel on the Intel SSD Toolbox software also ran by quickly and easily.
All similar overall problem-free and simple as I know it, for example by Samsung SSDs.
I am therefore pleased and could not fault this Intel SSD write. If the same or a different model in this series to buy again.
