Thanks for the info.

I put the 128gb into my son's HP Linux laptop and ordered a 64gb one for £35 from China for the PowerBook.

Will let you know how I get on.

Kindo of you and good to hear it worked. Power book should be the same thing. :)

His HDD was making some nasty clicking sounds and the machine was getting VERY hot. Melting the case hot levels! lol

SSD + tlp package sorted that out. :)

Not sure if its a SSD issue or a disk write/read issue, but time to time my Mac Mini glitches the audio and locks the system for about a second then resumes... Musics randomly glitch out too. Not sure what I can adjust or if theres buffer settings to set for SSD.

Just try playing music with MPlayer and open an ASL requester with a drawer containing tons of files in it. It sound jitters (happens not always) it is "kind of normal".

It is unlikly a SSD problem, unless you are using a CF Card which may holds the ide bus when writing continuesly.

It doesnt have the issue on a normal HDD on my 2nd Mac Mini. Was thinking maybe because of the OC to 1.75ghz might be causing it to glitch. I can just leave the player going and it randomly jitters. Either way, ill have to tinker with it some more.

I get a similar problem on my Powerbook with an normal HDD. Adding 600 buffers to the PFS partition and 1000 to my IceFS partition helped a bit as did increasing the cache to full in the system preferences and choosing Least recently used option with Read Ahead sectors to 64 on both partitions. I left the HFS partition untouched with no read ahead.

I have no scientific basis for this working but it did seem to help so far. Could be placebo though I guess.

I chose 600 for the buffers on the PFS3 System partition as I have a vague memory of Piru saying it was the optimum number for PFS3.

No harm in you trying the same to see if it helps I suppose.

Thanks Intuition, might have to chance some stuff around to see how it goes.

Very strange................. I connected back my SSD Mac Mini setup, and everything is great... No hiccups or audio becoming jittery... Must of been something I done during that session. I did reboot just to be sure, but earlier today it kept giving same symptoms. Now everything is good...

Quake III runs great! I get 72 FPS windowed mode. Course my resolution is set to 800x600. :P
