It's a read-only scanner, by the way, so it won't test for write errors.

I don't recommend testing for write errors on SSDs, at least not in the same fashion as hard disks.

A Bad stick of RAM *CAN* cause Data Corruption of the HD (or SSD)...

If it finds an error, it's bad.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22644578 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:37:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643763 Kilroy : Chkdsk does and finds error and corrects them. Since it is RAM I need to find out if it is bad so I can RMA it if necessary. It crashed again this morning so I'm thinking it isn't as stable as it should be.

When will the people realize that with DRM they aren't purchasing anything?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22643763 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 08:56:48 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22640923 McSummation : SSD = Solid State Drive. Yep, it's just a stick of RAM.

Won't chkdsk check it for you?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22640923 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:05:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22640847 Kilroy : I Wooted a refurbed Asus EeePC 900 Netbook. The machine runs a bit slower than I expected, even knowing that SSD writes slower than it reads. I bumped up the RAM to 2GB and haven't noticed any improvement.

I've had it crash twice and upon reboot Windows runs chkdsk and finds problems and fixes them. The last time my Adobe Reader install was corrupted.

Is there any software that will test the SSD drive? From what I saw replacing the memory it isn't really a drive, more like a stick of RAM.
