Hi,
I have a problem with my laptop, it looks like a SSD bug : some parts in
a file vanishes (a function in a perl program). I have an asus laptop
which uses intel RST technology (Rapid Storage Technology), and I wonder
if the problem can come from that.
Does someone have an unlucky experience with RST please ?
If you think your SSD is dying, backup your data and be sure to preserve
old backups.
Intel hardware RAID is best supported on Windows -- install a driver
that includes an administration GUI, and you can see what the hardware
is doing.
I now use ZFS exclusively for RAID. This means I need to set the disk
drive mode to AHCI in the motherboard firmware.
Are parts of your Perl program disappearing? If so, describe the steps
required to reproduce the bug and view the effects.

Do you have a test suite for your Perl program?

Create a test script that elicits the bug. Then, move your Perl program
and test script to another machine without RST and run the test script.
That should tell you if you have an issue with your Perl program or an
issue with RST.
