I don't have my old machine with X25-M available anymore so I've confirmed your info on Denlow platform and Intel 320 model.
I also noticed when SSD connected via SATA-to-USB bridge, DIPM wouldn't trigger even if it's enabled by operating system (possible feature/bug on my external drive IC).
DIPS is disabled by default on desktop machine (at least on Denlow platform). With DIPS disabled, 'power on hours' keep adding up normally indeed.Įnabled by default on mobile platform, that is (confirmed on Montevina and Calpella platforms). Thank you for pointing this out! I was aware of DIPS (every now and then I see on AnandTech people complaining that they don't enable DIPS when testing SSDs on power consumption), but didn't realize it's enabled by default. Reporting tools: SSD Toolbox and CrystalDisk InfoĪccording to your information (see ), my drive has got latest firmware. Obviously 1 of its "hour" is longer than regular day. I've done this twice and records are following:
#HARD DISK POWER ON TIME INCORRECT WINDOWS 7#
software,intel & Windows 7 use Intel Matrix Storage Manager,this being SATA hds are set for this in BIOS,even RAID ready offers the performance gains. goes,in run type: diskmgmt.msc in msc,L.click on a drive,go to Actions/All/select Make Active.R.clicking on a drive,one can/could delete partition create/format/use default settings.Also,most pcs have a Disk mgmt. took a note about power on count at morning and let my machine run for all day and night long (no sleep/hibernation mode) All,any HD runs 100 of the time,this is a default setting,no HD runs less than 100.As far as HD mgmt. The other day I had spare time and run following experiment:
I'm running my Montevina based ThinkPads (one X25-M, the second with 320) for many hours each day, yet the count kept suspiciously low. For a long time already, I've been noticing Intel SSD X25-M 120 GB (and possibly also 320) has got incorrect 'power on' count hours in S.M.A.R.T.
