Hello Intel Community,
I have recently installed Intel 330 Series 120GB as my system drivein to my old desktop. The firmware version is 300i. My SSD is partitioned into two:
C: SYSTEM 50GB
D: DATA 61.79GB
After working well for a few weeks, my PC had a crash today. I was surprised to find quite a large number of these messages in the Event Log - System:
"The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\D". Event ID: 11. Source: Disk
and
"A parity error was detected on \Device\Ide\IdePort0." Event ID: 5. Source: atapi
I am using the latest Intell SSD Tool box 3.1.2. Ran "System Tuner" which disabled Prefetch/Superfetch. I do not use Defragmenter on the SSD.
I run the "Intel SSD Optimiser" from this tool on the weekly basis.
The system information is below:
I have come across to this Microsoft technote that suggests to switch to PIO Only Transfer mode for IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller in order to fix that issue:
Disk Error 11 and ATAPI Error 5 Using DMA Transfer Mode for ATA66 Hard Disk
I am going to try it tonight but I really do not understand how it could fix it.
I am worried that my new Intel SSD may be failing or not compatible with stardard itapi driver or SATA controller. I am using pretty standard Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4 motherboard with 8 SATA ports (3 GB/s). The SSD is connected into the first (SATAII0) port.
I hope that somebody could share their knowledge and help me with that issue.
Many thanks in advance,
