Restore points are for grandma; I would've figured that everyone here disables them.:D

It's an idea, but wouldn't the same apply to mechanical drives? My mechanical drives all produce a relatively clean downward arc, with the front (where Windows is located), offering up the highest read speeds.

It's quite bizarre...I hope Intel can address it. SSD's are not like hearts, flat lines are best...---------------------------------------------------------- :)

Resetting the CMOS may allow you back into the BIOS with your USB keyboard, although I know it can be a pain depending on how many modifications you've made. At least the IP-35 Pro makes it easy to do with the switch on the backplate. If RAID provides an easier upgrade path in the future and...

Regarding your optical drive, it's likely that the device name is being changed depending on the controller mode. For instance, in IDE mode, my OD is called "SATA CDROM" or something, but in AHCI mode it's called "P5 Optiarc". Obviously if I have "SATA CDROM" set as #1 in the boot order, then...

Tried a few things... 1. Disabled swap file/indexing/some other disk related things - no difference 2. Switched to IDE mode - the dip pattern over the first 10% changed in appearance, but still existed 3. Installed Windows to my WD 640GB and benched the Intel... Tada So I guess it's...

Rawr! You have my drive. :( It will be interesting to see if it stays that way after you install the OS. Can't download the Intel Toolbox from that site because it hit the 10 download limit. I guess I'll just wait for Intel to re-release it.

Connecting after the BIOS didn't work, nor did putting it in an enclosure (tried USB and E-SATA). I'll give the toolbox a shot when I'm back in windows.

Because... 1. I'm not sure if it's normal...I've seen essentially flat lines in reviews 2. Over the first 8GB of the drive, I'm getting subpar performance Can you post your graph?

Installed my X-25M G2 80GB earlier today and noted erratic benchmark performance over the first 10% of the drive. Sequence... 1. Installed drive 2. Initialized and formatted drive from Disk Management...the application actually stopped responding and the drive disappeared from Windows...
