Does anyone experience freezing issue with M4?

It occur again just now when I was surfing the web normally with my music turned on. You could hear the music slowed down drastically and nothing is responding.

So I force shut down my laptop, in order to re-detect the my M4 I have to go into BIOS menu.

I have already re-install my OS (Windows 7).

IIRC, my previous SSD (G.Skill Phoenix Pro) also have this issue.

Any solution? :(

hmm m4 & g.skill ssd have diff controllers so problem not controller-specific. try setting "turn off hard disk after" to "never" to see if its sleep/power related...

u may want to look into registry fixes similar to this one, How to fix your SSD freezing issue (we hope!) - The Corsair Support Forums

i not familiar with those reg fixes, as i try to avoid any ssd that potentially require it. so u shud ask/read around for more current instructions.

btw did freeze problem occur right after u swap hdd for ssd? quite rare it seems, ur freeze problem is total unrecoverable freeze + change other ssd still happens. any chance not ssd-related?

My Intel SSD has this issue. Do you see the HDD solid in colour?? After some troubleshooting for mine, i found out this.

1. The moment i'm connected to Internet and there are Internet activity only it freeze but i think actually not freeze, just that the SSD is being access aggressively i think so i can't do **** about it. Try disable your Internet connection and see if helps.

2. I figure it's silly not to have Internet then work, so i follow the guide someone put it out on how to optimize your SSD. I followed a few, not all but i think the one that eventually solved the problem is disable Indexing.

Now my SSD work normal le but like no speed advantage :s13: And it still says i'm using RAID when i'm not. Bah :eek:

Not sure if you are having the same issue as me but try try.

Hmm... I thought of it too. It only occur when I am using SSD.

I just updated some of my driver via the manufacturer website.

Hmmm looks like Intel 520 120GB have dropped to a really reasonable level now, is it worth to buy ?

in the budget of 150-170s, considering the Crucial m4 128GB, Samsung 830 128GB and Intel 520 120GB now.

will be on a SATA2 board so lol.........

Huh? Usually it's the other way round for most people.

Not enough space, just move your media to secondary HDD

I run my M4 256gb (OS/PROGRAMS/GAMES) with 500gb (BT)+320gb (STORAGE)

curious, i ran the cmd "fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo c:" on my ssd drive and the output is--
Bytes Per Sector : 512
Bytes Per Physical Sector : 512
Bytes Per Cluster : 4096

kinda surprised, i thought at least "Bytes Per Physical Sector" should be 4096 for ssd? instead it looks like mine is 512-byte native (like older non-advance format hdd), if so how come proper alignment during os install is required?
