The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0.
Windows 7 computer with an SSD. It freezes from time to time... hard reboots result in chkdsk.
Event log shows many The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0 errors.
I have an SSD and DVD player attached.
I swapped both SATA cables... same error.
Unplugged DVD at the MB... same error.
Moved SSD to another SATA port... same error.

Anythoughts?

Thanks
what was the problem - or solution?

Here are the details:
I have 6 SATA ports 1-6. With the SSD in SATA1 and DVD in SATA5 I was getting an IdePort0 error. I move the DVD to SATA2 and the SSD to SATA4 and the error moved to IdePort1. Removing the DVD altogether moved the error back to IdePort0.
Thus the IdePorts appear to be virtual and get assigned based on the order of the SATA ports.
Because the error would move based on where I plugged in the SSD I concluded the SSD to be the issue. I exchanged the SSD and the error went away.
I learned, through this experience, that IdePorts are virtual and follow the order of SATA devices.

The drive has been running 24x7 with no issues and excellent performance since doing the firmware update.
If it's not this drive, which one is it? In any case, I recommend updating the firmware for whatever SSD it is. Regards, Joe
