Too bad they don't really mean much in terms of real world performance. At the rate GTA likes to lock up my pc when online I think I would suffer huge data loss if I kept the ram caching

Heya
Anyone able to give a quick TL;DR of the difference between the EVO and PRO series for the Samsung SSDs? Is it worth spending the extra? It'll only be used for gaming.

The Pro uses MLC vs TLC nand flash as shown here and has has a much longer warranty and faster internal controller, plus slightly better IOPS to back it up. Samsung 850 Pro / 850 EVO versus 840 EVO and 840 SSD Series For gaming i'd say an EVO is fine. I just upgraded my brothers rig with an 850 EVO 250GB and its a monster. Runs circles around my 840 Pro for raw speed it seems.
EDIT: I see you have a 840 EVO 250GB are you just looking for a bigger drive?

I have two, the 840 and an old 120GB OCZ-Vertex 2, the V2 is faulty, often will not be recognized by windows and the only way to fix it is by unplugging waiting a bit then putting it back, so looking to replace it.

The software says you can enable it. The test is measuring the ram cache not the SSD. That's what Rapid mode is. It sets up a ram cache/ram disk. When you run the tests, they are measuring how fast data is transferred in and out of the Ram Disk. No Sata SSD is capable of those speeds.The SSD is on a SATA bus, and there is no sata Bus that can come close to those speeds.

Show us your hard drive performance I thought it would be interesting to compare everyones hard drive performances with screenshots from HD Tune utility (get from HD Tune). Maybe after some time we could produce a results table.
So heres mine:
Im going to show you the single WD Raptor X results first for interest:

SSD show low performance I bought a Samsung 840 EVO120Gb which is showing a very disappointing performance.
My system is the following:

Show us your SSD performance I'm interested to see what others are getting out of their SSD or SSDs in RAID. It's cool to look through the "Show us your hard drive performance" thread but here's a place for just SSD performance. I have a 128GB Patriot Torqx. (F/W v1881) Please post your benchmarks.:)
Edit: I now have...
Hardware & Devices
Show us your Mechanical HDD performance... Since the SSD boys and girls have a "Show us your SSD Performance" thread, I thought I'd start one for us mechanical HDD owners.
Simply DL, install, and run HD Tune and post screenshots of results here in this thread. Please also tell us the Make and Model of your HDD(s) and any other specs you...
