Strange day
And So, Sunday – generally, – day off, it would seem, everything should be fucking cool, nothing should not happen, but for me it turned out differently (because i winner in life chief favorite of Murphy's Law).
Generally, since the morning of the day it occurred to rearrange freed the SSD Corsair Force GT 128GB to another computer as the system partition, but I forgot the problem, the catorye had this SSD in my old computer (incompatibility controllers, which solved by raising the voltage at Southbridge). Yes, and the MIC was slightly broken: after, I kopirnul system partition on it, and finally figured out with all files and config boot bcd, attempt to boot the system did not wed success – everything just froze tightly, and displays artifacts. Then it was decided to defer these actions the next day and do the following: pull out nouta Plextor M6S to 256GB , koprinut it in Corsair Corsair and stick in the laptop, and Plextor – in the complex.
After sleep
In the afternoon I successfully formatnul Corsair, although he gave me BLue Screen, apparently, has already begun to be covered somehow (with 2011 he works yet!). The result was using Parted Magic to write zeros to it and make Secure Format. Nout, in short, back to life. Stayed computer, but before that, I decided to upgrade the firmware on a Plextor 1.03 (## junk beard) and updated to 1.08 (No Release Notes, of course, have not been, had to believe, The new firmware is better and cooler, even though Ubisoft has dispelled my opinion, the new cool ==, released a patch to the Assassin's Creed: Unity, which contained the two gigabytes of soap (c), says Old Man Vanomas), in general, Returning to the SSD drives, I updated the firmware, all ok, further decided to press Secure Format utility PlexTool — drive samozalochilsya(!!!) was detected. Insert the disk in the laptop – He finds it and writes, what they say, I have to lock your drive, enter password. I do not know, who are guilty of this, may be, was the failure of the controller or something like that, but the fact is I was very upset. I forgot to say, that just before, flew as SSD, i've found, that on my HDD Case Zalman VE400 broke down the left side of the sensor – that, where the button “Menu”, – and means, I could not Tepe switch box mode hard disk. In general, Zalman lazhanulsya specifically for this model! VE200 model was 500 times cooler (by the way, and now its use) – no sensors, Only mechanical wheel (although it is a pity, that no hardware encryption), the task of emulating USB-ODD and HDD Case task as performs all 100, In addition, there eSata, which always makes me happy, the only negative – no USB 3.0 (although there are exactly the same, but with USB 3.0). In general, anyway – it is a pity.
Good service – priceless. For everything else, there is no money and expensive dollar.
I decided, so, attributed the whole thing to a guarantee to pass and went in Yulmart, passed in general, both Virgo – lucky, – immediately issued a refund. Boxes such as the hard drive was not, so we had to take the money (old price ~ 2200r, new price ~ 3500r), because if it were available, I could change, но увы 🙁 А вот с диском повезло – stock was the same, so I came home with a disk (the price is too rose to 2000P, basically, these are 30% of the value of, but I do not pay extra, because to change the product – это круто 🙂 .
In general, situation has stabilized, losses are minimal – I had all the information right in front of self-destruction kopirnut SSD, although there was not anything important, but a couple of gigabytes of selected video of Sasha Grey (well, where she came on the show Evening Urgant or … well… and every various other interesting video short) , a new SSD I kopirnul Windu with a hard disk partition (it was difficult, but in the end everything turned out pretty quickly and without any problems and stupidity).
Lamp atmosphere in the evening Sunday
To create a lamp atmosphere we need the following ingredients
- Somewhere 1:22 nights (You can later, but not 4:00 morning. At four in the morning – rebound anyway, otherwise cocks (neighbors with a drill) You wake)
- Poorly-lit room
- Cup of tea (but rather a huge glass)
- What thread, to sharpen (cookies, chipsiki or, in my case, – popcorn)
- Progress bar up from Acronis'a, which has not yet reached 75%, to look at it
Here It Is, for example, Windows partition backup process when only lamp atmosphere
As I write, I on the SSD, copying 80GB of data took somewhere in ~ 20 minutes, and, can, and less. Next had to fight with the prescription in the boot mbr, Change the drive letter (hang on the SSD partition with letter C:), and reconfigure the boot loader configuration bootmgr (command bcdedit bootrec and mainly). In general, с третьей перезагрузки все получилось 🙂 Далее уже всякие оптимизации для SSD – Google Chrome cache transfer to RamDisk, Disable indexing and services prefetch and readyboot. Trim was enabled by default – PlexTool (the original utility from Plextor) showed me zelenenky box Trim “ON”, that calmed my soul and conscience, as well as help you to forgive yourself, what happened to that little girl in the childhood. And, which is very cool and do above all praise – Plextor has finally developed a technology PlexTurbo – caching in RAM read and write data! (Something like Rapid Mode in drives from Samsung). This feature has helped to achieve read speeds 700 MB / sec 1100 MB / sec writing to the SATA controller 2 (even for the SATA controller 3 it's a lot).
