Hi Guy

sorry for my english, i speak a little.
I'm french.


My SSD is very slow and I had trouble installing windows above or another operating system.

can you tell me if it is possible to completely erase an ssd "SSDPAM0008G1EA" ??

I have try to wipe with hdderase 4 , it does'nt work.
HDDERASE detects my disk to S0 but
HDDErase asks me to disable AHCI in bios, but no AHCI mode in bios

can you help me ?

thank a lot

The problem is elsewhere .

1) If you expect same speed as a HDD, even 5400 RPM, forget it.

2) 99,99% it is used on a netbook. I said all.

3) This SSD (Intel) has shown high latency time. And be careful when reading the technical specs or advertising - things are not always so simple.

4) Likely, you have used the netbook or the SSD like a normal PC or the SSD like a HDD. SSDs are NOT intended and cannot withstand (actually, but it will be the same for many many years) too many write cycles. If you were using paging or something that frequently wrote on it, it is worn. It happens quicker than you think (on industrial PCs SSDs are used with non-paging OS and special techniques are used to implement external, 2nd-layer wear leveling algo).

5) With the Intel latency time, Windows seems "frozen".

6) Conclusion : if initially it was acceptable, either you have worn it or something is misconfigured on the netbook, or something else was added to the system. Hope it is only a SW problem, but I am very doubtful - I hear dozens of people whining about their SSDs every day.

7) You need special tools to analyze and eventually fix problems on SSDs. If you want, we can analyze and eventually fix it if it is not beyond repair, you can judge if it is worth or not.
