Hi,
I have been using a Revodrive3 x 2 480 for just under 1 year - this replaced a 1st generation Revodrive 480GB which failed under warranty.
My problem is that occasionally the drive will lock up resulting in multiple event id 129 'Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued.' These cause a partial lock up of my machine which contains other mechanical drives and which can only be cleared by a re-boot and on occasion a system reset.
I'm aware these problems may be related to me using an old version of the ocz10xxx driver, 1.3.6.17083. However, I have tried both newer versions of the driver on my system at various times and while it is not clear if they fix the described error they cause other issues which result in me reverting back to the original driver.
The problems with the new drivers are performance related. Both access times and throughput are significantly reduced when using the later drivers to the point that the Revodrive begins to perform like a mechanical drive! I can only get acceptable performance using the older driver but at the cost of occasional lock-ups. This behaviour is reproducible and measurable.
Does anyone have any comments or suggestions?
Many thanks,
Rob W
