Win7 setting for fast SSD

Does Corsair provide firmware updates for SSDs?

You will find download links and firmware update instructions posted in our forum. Not all drives will have a firmware update and in most cases your drive should have the latest firmware available at the time of production.

Do I need to tweak my operating system to get my Corsair SSD drive to run at optimal performance?

No settings within your operating system need to be adjusted for a Corsair SSD drive to run at optimal performance.

Will I get the full benefit of having a Corsair SSD drive installed on my machine if it only supports SATA I?

The SATA I spec is slower than most Corsair SSD drives. You would get the best performance from a Corsair SSD drive from a system with SATA II.
Are Corsair SSD drives compatible with SATA I?

All Corsair SSD drives are compatible with both SATA I and SATA II. However, you will only be able to acheive the rated transfer speeds when using the SATA interface that the SSD is designed for.

What settings do I need to adjust in my system BIOS for optimal SSD performance?

Enabling AHCI storage mode in your BIOS is the only setting we recommend adjusting for optimal SSD performance.
What is TRIM?

The TRIM command is a feature of Windows 7 which allows an SSD to maintain its high level of performance over the lifetime of the drive. Here is a link which describes TRIM in more detail:

What about services or programs in my operating system such as indexing, pre-fetching, write-caching, defrag etc?

Corsair SSDs require no maintenance programs or operating system tweaks.
What programs can Corsair recommend to test the performance of my Corsair SSD?

AIDA64, ATTO, CrystalDiskMark, HDTune and SiSoft Sandra and are all very good benchmarks of your SSD performance. However, all Corsair SSD specifications are published based on ATTO performance.

Microsoft to Ship 7 Bulletins in March Patch Tuesday Release


http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/mi...release-030713

Software giant Microsoft plans to ship seven bulletins in the March 2013 edition of Patch Tuesday. Four of the bulletins are receiving high-severity, critical ratings.

Three of the four critically rated bulletins that affect Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, Silverlight, Office, and Server Software could lead to remote code execution while the final critically rated bulletin could allow for privilege elevations. The less severe, important-rated bulletins affect Office, Server Software, and Windows and could lead to information disclosures and privilege escalations.

Qualsys Chief Technical Officer, Wolfgang Kandek told Threatpost in an email interview that he would prioritize the first bulletin on Patch Tuesday because it fixes a bug that could be exploited to perform a complete machine takeover in all versions of IE from 6-10.

Kandek also expressed concerns regarding the second bulletin, which will address critical vulnerabilities in Microsoft Silverlight on Windows and Mac OS X, because it is widely deployed on end-user machines to run media applications like Netflix.

The third bulletin will fix a vulnerability in Visio and the Microsoft Office Filter Pack. Kandek said he was puzzled by the fact that this fix recieved a critical rating, because exploitation would require that users open an infected file, and that he would be interested to see if this vulnerability’s attack vector ends up warranting the high-severity rating.

Lastly, Kandek noted that the fourth and final critically-rated bulletin arose from a problem in Sharepoint server.

The Patch Tuesday notification will go live, replacing the advanced bulletins, on Tuesday, March 13 at 1 PM EST.
