Help With P150HM

Hey all,
My OCZ vertex 2 died has died and I had to reinstall windows using a new drive.

After the installation I installed all the required drivers for my system from the driver thread and from the Aager website.

Unfortunately I am still having issues with one driver.

SM Bus Controller.

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C22&CC_0C05

Any help in identifying the driver required for this woudl be very much appreciated.

Cheers

 

I don't see a Clevo in your signature. Why don't you contact your reseller about this?

Mr. Mysterious

 

No I have a Sager/Clevo laptop. Np150HM from Eurocom. I think I have teh issues figured out now. It's a driver required for the Synaptics Touchpad.

Cheers

 

SM Bus Controller is generally associated with the chipset. I could be wrong though.
Let us know what it was if it wasn't the chipset or the touchpad, but I'm almost willing to bet it is the chipset drivers.

Also with the OCZ Vertex drives, or ANY SSD for this matter, please be sure you have the latest firmware updates on your drive. For the Vertex 2 it should be v1.35.

 

An OCZ drive died? Well, I'll be. Certainly never heard that before.

So why isn't this clevo in your sig?

 

why are you guys so obsessed with his sig lol

sometimes smbus is a random chipset device like heihachi said, sometimes its related to the card reader i think

 

indeed a truly unheard-of situation haha

 

You have gotta make sure there's no disk defrag events scheduled + superfetch must be turned off and indexing service is disabled, if you didn't ssd's death is obvious.

 

why would that be obvious?those services would just accelerate the write decay of the flash memory but wouldnt cause the ssd to die ^^ besides, write lifetime of today's flash modules are so extended that u couldnt possibly reach their limits inside of a decade even if u tried real hard

Yeah everything was disabled. I read teh reviews and bought an OCZ vertex and the intel drive at the time.

Intel is in this desktop and is still running like a champ. Lesson learnt no more OCZ shiat.

 

I have the Intel x25-m 160GB (Sata2) for 2 years now, still working good in my ASUS G73. My 2nd SSD (For Clevo P150EM) is a Samsung 830 256GB(Sata3) not as fast as the intel 520 but I love its 4k read/write About 2 times quicker than the x25-m.

 

huh? the samsung 830 is way faster than the intel 520

 

Well if you compare the sequential read/write on both the Intel 520 240GB and the Samsung 830 256GB, Intel 520 is 50mbps quicker on read and 100mbps quicker on write than the Sansung 830 256GB. 4K read/write are pretty similar on both brands in Sata3 mode tho.

 

intel 520 240GB
read: 520 MB/s (compressible) / 507 MB/s (incompressible)
write: 501 MB/s (compressible) / 286 MB/s (incompressible)

samsung 830 256 GB
read: 511 MB/s (compressible) / 499 MB/s (incompressible)
write: 387 MB/s (compressible) / 387 MB/s (incompressible)

not much difference in sequential read/writes, but in IOPS samsung kick´s intel´s butt, pretty much more than twice the performance

 

Windows auto-disables defrag if you have an SSD, and there is no reason to disable superfetch, doing so will actually slow your machine down.

And the driver you need is the Intel Chipset INF Drivers.

 

Also you have to look if what's on your drive is compressible. If it isn't, for example if it's encrypted, the intel or any drive relying on compression for best performance, won't do as well as something like an M4 or 830.

 

4K read/write on my Samsung 830 256GB

 

thanks for the confirmation hackness pretty much identical to the incompressible rates i posted, nice jealous! but ill hang onto my good ol´corsair F90 until 512GB SSDs become affordable
