Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
While my SSD was connected to the mobo's built-in SATA II controller, I tried the DFC Latency Checker while and ran AS SSD Benchmark. There were no issues!! The maximum latency that it reached was about 126us which is in the green zone!.
I did not expect to go from SATA II (3Gbps) to SATA III (6Gbps) for only a 5% increase in performance! (Ands that is irrespective of the money vs. performance issue!!)
So how is that unrealistic?? Perhaps I am missing the point here!!
Well, without the Rocket I was getting scores of 390 (using SATA II) and with the Rocket it went up to 410 I think. You can call me greedy but that was not enough justification for me to use an add-on card. I was expecting much better scores!!!
But now as I am researching more and more I...
I did come across that as well through my own research, thanks for the confirmation!!! It seems the 9182 is the answer but I am wondering if any manufacturer will actually build an add-on card based on that chip. Most new generation mobos have built-in SATA III support and only people with...
Just tried the HighPoint Rocket 620. Hate to say that the results were not impressive at all. The score went from 390 to 420. I will post a screen shot soon. For now I am going to look for a different adapter!!
No worries. I bought it based on my own calculations and usually don't mind paying to get the best but perhaps i went a bit too far this time!! And very likely that i would have kept had it worked but for some reason it was not working on my MB!!
Good luck with yours as well!
