Once the disk queue length dropped down to 1-2, the system was manageable again.ĭon't know if that problem will repeat with the new drive at some point, but I would care not to take chances and just get the board replaced at this point. That behavior would go on for the first 15 minutes of boot, and perfmon showed a long disk queue length during that fifteen minutes. Also, VAIO Gate, one of the programs built in that loads on startup, would cause my mouse to hang, not move for a couple seconds, and then start to move from where it should have been based on the motion I used to move it.
The system was slow: Mouse clicks did not respond immediately and sometimes took anywhere from 2-10 seconds to register, directory listings were slow to load, browser windows were the worst and just scrolling up and down a page could take 5-10 seconds for the scroll bar to even move, and when the scroll bar on the browser did move, it was often jerky. With the previous two drives, the behavior was erratic, but it was repeatable on nearly every boot. This one has been fine for over a month now. The second drive started failing after four or five days of use. Both drives were fine when I initially used them, and the first drive started failing after months of use. At the 'License Agreement' dialog, read the agreement, then, if you agree, click 'I Agree' to continue with the installation. In my case with the previous two drives, the hard disk drive controller seemed to be magnafoozled on both. At the 'Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Ver.
NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver (previous BSOD issues with 2010 version) No updates are available through Sony, and I am having a difficult time finding them through Renesas Support.
I believe this is a driver issue related to the blue screens that occur with the driver version installed on my system. I have a SanDisk 16 GB USB 2.0 drive that works fine. I do not have this problem if I use the one and only USB 2.0 port on the system. If I try to move files off my system onto the flash drive and then also try to move/copy files within the flash drive to a different folder, the drive disappears from the system and I get a message that the destination path does not exist anymore.
I don't want to reboot my server everytime it wakes up.Ever since I bought this system, I have had issues with an older Kingston 8 GB USB 2.0 flash drive.
My hardware is: Dell Optiplex 990 SFF, Intel Core i7-2600, 8GB DDR3 10600, Samsung 128GB SSD, Seagate USB 3.0 drive, Renesas NEC USB 3.0 PCI-e card.Ĭan someone please help me? This is a verry annoying problem. 25% of the time the USB just wakes up fine. Still the same PC, still the same Power Settings, still the Windows Server 2012 native USB 3.0 driver.Īnd it's not always the USB 3.0 get corrupt, but 75% of the time. But when the PC/Server goes to sleep and wakes up, in 75% of the cases the USB 3.0 Drive is gone, and the USB Host Controller has the yellow ! Just reboot and it's all back to normal. When the PC/Server is running all is well. Then when Windows Server 8 Beta came, I tried it and worked great! All Power Settings the same as before, and Never Ever lost the USB 3.0 Drive or Host Controller.Īnd with the Windows Server 8 Beta USB 3.0 default native driver.Īs soon as Windows Server 2012 RC came I installed it as I was so pleased with the Beta. This package provides the Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 driver version 2.1.28.1 for Intel Desktop Boards. Only the NEC/Renesas driver but it was reported verry buggy.
Internet suggested it was because Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2 had no real USB 3.0 support. But when the PC/Server goes to sleep and wakes up, in 75% of the cases the USB 3.0 Drive is gone, and the USB Host Controller has the yellow ! Just reboot and This post is about the difficulties I experienced when trying to use such an extension card with Linux, and a tool to upload required firmware to the chipset. This may also apply to other Renesas USB chipsets as well. I have a USB 3.0 card and a USB 3.0 disk connected to it. USB 3.0 extension cards based on Renesas uPD720202 chipset appear to be somewhat problematic when Linux is used as operating system.
I have had this problem with Windows Server 2008 R2 DataCenter Edition.
