Show us your SSD performance 2

[Terronium 12]

I think you have a world record there, that SSD is a keeper

Your alignment and driver looks good.

I'll say. Is it normal for the scores to be so... out of the ordinary like that?

Happens occasionally, has to do with the new hardware, benchmarks need to be updated to get an accurate reading.

Sorry but, the reading is inaccurate.

You don't say?

Lol

You can try Anvil Storage Utilities. Scroll down in 1st post to new download link for RC1.

I question the relevance of some of these benchmarks with real world software applications. After all isn't real world apps what we use PCs for????

Absolutely true. I have long stopped making those performance tests - and if I do, I am only interested in the 4K numbers. If the SSD 'feel right', that's good enough for me.

My personal reasoning is that I run one, perhaps two (after a fiddling if needed) on a new drive is to compare to the mean of my drive and comparable setups.

After that - the drive gets used. No more tests.


And despite my new drives lower 4k speeds compared to my m4's higher scores - the perceivable difference is negligible.

Still 'feels' good in the speed department and the extra capacity offsets any 'speed' loss.

Well, this is Show us your SSD performance 2 (so popular they made a sequel ). But they will show a relative comparison especially on the same system. I haven't run one since my SSD was new. But everyone likes to show off so...

It's a good idea to run a benchmark when you first get a SSD, to check if the settings are correct and the drive functions as it should.
We have seen many posted here that were less than 50% of what they should be, indicating a problem. Many were corrected, this is the benefit of this thread.
And to show off a little

That is a good point. Especially for people who just start with their first or second SSD. But after the first half dozen, you get a feel for what is good and what is bad.

My comment was maybe a little severe since I run the benchmarks as well. Maybe I should have asked if anyone had a comment on the apparent high number of "Non-4K Aligned Access" which I think everyone gets using typical apps. I'm not sure how you would measure such read/write access times.

I didn't realize this before

"Basically, even though you have Windows and your drive nicely aligned - there's nothing stopping developers from reading and writing whatever they want. Which is a perfectly valid thing for software to do but will show as a non 4k access."
SSD SMART "Non-4k Aligned Access" - Crucial Community
So I wonder if software developers don't have SSDs in mind then real world software may not reflect blistering benchmarks?

If I follow your link to their link to the document there is no document.

I have never seen that particular SMART attribute before so I have no idea.
The actual document might have been useful.

In terms of showing off I've got you all beat with my extra special Agility 3 operating at SATA 5 speeds, maybe even SATA 7!

Well, the only thing about these tests is, you can never trust the results to be correct. I do believe that to be especially true in your case.

Yeah right, at least you got us puzzled.

Yes this is as far as the trail goes
Re: SMART ID 181 very long raw count - Crucial Community
but is sufficient to explain what the smart attribute means. The implication of unaligned reads and writes is the question I raise. I'll do more of my own homework to find out but I would expect unaligned read and writes to be slower like an unaligned drive benchmarks slower.

Also you will also see other SMART data reported by CrystalDiskInfo for the SSD that isn't reported for a spinner.

I'll tell my kids I knew of future SATA speeds before they were even finalized because I had a prototype.

Alright, I need to get an accurate reading now.

You haven't been riding in Doc Brown's time machine, have you?

Hardware change now supports SSD 6 GB/Second (Update)

Is it still a computer?
