Hi All
For the past 6 months or so i have been using a SSD for my OS (Win 7 64bit). I have 2 other hard drives set to Raid1 as my storage documents, music etc.
The problem i have found is that after a few weeks or couple of months, the OS starts to "act up" Icons start disapearing, Duplicate folders appear, random freezing, images dont load. i could go on as the problems are so random.
So far i have reinstalled the OS 4 times and it works like a charm for a couple of months and then i get back to this state. i never had this issue before using a SSD for my OS drive
Obviously i have Anti Virus and i dont defrag the SSD.
I was first using a Kingston 128GB SSD now i have a samsung 840 series 250GB and both are doing the same thing.
Not sure if it is the SSD or something else. i have a Asus P9X79 WS mobo.
Is there something i should be doing to 'maintain' the SSD. i know it shouldnt be defragged, but is there anything else i can do to keep it happy?
At this rate i am going to go back to a hard drive..
any advice much appreciated
