Force GT 120Gb

Hi

Im running my brand new Force GT 120 on my GA-X58A-UD3R.

I wasnt expecting stellar performance since the motherboard only has the Marvell 9128-controller for SATA 6gb/s connections.
But the issues im having far exceeds my worst expectations. Im completely unable to run W7 from it.
Im currently running W7 off my F60B 2.0 SATA 2 port 0 and having the Force GT connected to port 0 on Marvell. Been running games and applications from it. Games such as FE3R and SC2 run smoothly, without any hiccups for hours.
What Im currently unable to do:

- Run AS SSD, ATTO or DiskMark without from time to time having the disk completely freezing.
- Install/Run W7 (freezing issues) Have completed an installation successfully once but it was completely unstable.

My perfomance speeds according to ATTO:
about 410MB/s read
250 MB/s write

Please help!

EDIT: Now having reliability issues in random cases; starting applications and so on. Always when accessing the disk.

Thank you for your respond.

Just placed an order on a bunch of (four) "6GB/SATA III"-cables.

Didnt mention that I have tried installing W7 on a SATA2-port and then connecting it to SATA3 (marvell). I didnt go se well. The install was without any disturbances but the instabilities returned as I connected it to the marvell-ports.

Been reading in the thread and will give some of the workarounds a try after I got my new cables.

Just to end this case: I sold the GT to a friend with a P67-board. No freezes, excellent performance and I got my money back.

With the money I then bought my second F115 and since last night have them RAID: ed.

With write-caching disabled.
I'm not displeased.

IMO the GT is a failure and that Corsair have failed in delivering an SSD with multiboard compatibility, as was intended.

Switching cables? Why not enclose an approved one from the get go?

Yeah.. The likelihood of it beeing the storage controller is pretty slim. Tried both the Marvell and ICH10R, kept on freezing up.

But thx for your assistance!
