Good score John.

Try clicking "sprache" and see if English is an option.

Ok Gary didn't know that was an option to be honest I knew what it meant in Deutsch

First run.

Gary, did you enable Beast Mode in your BIOS? Where is that feature?

It's brand new SSD which I have only formatted and then cloned a w7 install to it. I haven't found the Beast Mode....yet.
I'm sure the scores will drop as it's used.

Good thing is, it's right up there with what professional reviewers were getting with that drive.

Interesting Gary how does the use affect the write / read rate I can't sorta figure that one out in my befuddled mind.

SSD memory cells have a limited read/write number of cycles, last I read it was 3000 read/write per cell. As it is used the total performance starts to deteriorate albeit very slowly, hence those scores drop slightly.
As it stands a SSD can have 5GB per day written to it for several years before failure. I'm just very picky.

Any good quality SSD will outlive the computer it's in more than likely. I think the number of cycles depends on the quality of the drive as some are 3000, some are 5000 and enterprise drives are even higher. I always go back to that poor old Samsung 830 being tortured.......poor thing had almost 7 Petabytes of data written to it before it went tits up. It should be noted that he was moving and saved the Samsung until the last possible minute so he would have the shortest powered down time possible. He was hesitant about powering down the system testing it, and had his route planned out so it would only be down about 10 minutes. He was right, when he powered the system back on, the drive wouldn't function properly. The average user wouldn't wear out 1% of a good SSD with normal use.

That would be my take too. That's why I never worry about R/W activity.

What is more detrimental to performance is if you do not have Trim in either an older SSD or in e.g. Vista or Linux. That will really slow performance down over time.
