6.1 on SSD slowwww....

[wisco24]

Hi All,

I am running 6.1 on an SanDisk SSD, and it's running CRAZY slow...

3.5 hours in and only 47,500 megs out of 1 TB processed...running at Level 3

Drive: Sandisk SDSSDH3-1T02
It's a Sata 3 at 6 gig port and drive speed...
Ultradma = 133.3 MB/s
available pio = 16.67 MB/s
ata/atapi spec: ATA-8

Any ideas or thoughts? Just seems crazy slow to me.

Is the Graphical data Display (GSD) screen showing any R's, U's, or B's?

What is the transfer block size shown (LL corner) on the Real Time Activities (RTA) screen ?

The drive probably is truly that slow right now. It will probably be a lot faster once SpinRite finishes refreshing it.

You can try Level 2 to see if the trouble is with reading, or just writing.

Thanks for the feedback! So far no R, B or U's.. L2 was just as slow. I switched to L3 to "recharge" the sectors since some files have definitely been sitting for a few years on this drive with limited/no access.

Transfer block size: mostly at 256, but jumps to 32,768 ever once in a while, then there's a "click" (system makes click sound) , and it goes back to 256. (attached is a short video with audio to hear/see the behavior.)

It looks like that drive is really, really slow! It seems best to let L3 work its way thru the drive.

Did you happen to run a benchmark on it before you started the scan?
