Show us your SSD performance 2

To be honest mate for that killer performance one pays premium prices and personally for me the speed of the bog standard EVO is more that enough.
I sometimes think that some will not be happy until the speed reaches the speed of light or perhaps before it is even set in motion

Yeah I am fortunate to be able to have my toys :)

However that's not what my post was about. Nor do I question others who spend their money to improve their PC's. That's what PC enthusiasts do

Thanks.

Just received my Samsung 850 SSD drive (512) today, but won't be able to install it till after class. I have a 5pm class this evening.

Anyway I got it so that I can use my 840 (256gig) as a second drive to house Windows 10 for testing purposes. Plus I wanted a larger drive to move files around, including my 50+gig photo library.

I'm not sure how much of a performance gain I'll see over the 840, but I do like the larger size, and thus the main reason for getting this, plus the 850 does look to have killer performance.

BTW, for some odd reason, I'm still not able to run the AS SSD benchmark without error...

Attachment 336127

so I can't say if this score is right...
Attachment 336128

I've had this issue ever since moving to Windows 8.1. I simply can't run it without erroring out

And since I already have a Samsung 840 installed, yes, I have the Magician software installed, and Rapid mode enabled.

Well that's it for now, have to get ready for class.

Later.

Benchmarks will be quite a bit faster, in actual user experience it will feel somewhat faster. Kind of like CPU 2.5 Ghz to 3.0 Ghz yea It is faster but you really don't see that extra speed. The real big difference was going from a hard drive to SSD. I think it will be a long time again before we see or feel a jump in speed and effectiveness as SSD are.

Well contrary to popular belief I didn't get it for benchmarking but the added space. Some of you already know I hardly OC, let alone benchmark. I just figured if I was going to get a 512gig, why not get the 850 with it's 10 year warranty, plus the performance to boot.

Honestly though, I doubt many (me included) will this drive 5-years from now, let alone 10.

Anyway I'm thinking about just doing a OS reinstall instead of the migrate operation I was originally going to do using Paragon's Hard Disk Manager; that would have taken 5-10 minutes, but a reinstall might be in order due to nagging issues with my current install.

Problem is I don't have time for a reinstall as I've got two papers and a test due by Tuesday for finals this week. So for now it looks like PC upgrades are on hold till finals are done

Until then

Until i realized that i was upset with my SSD performance , once i knew that in actual use there is very little improvement and it would be barely noticeable i thought why spend more money since there is a bottle neck in most current systems anyway.

That's all very true, but I think another big advantage to the 850 Pro is a 10 year warranty.

Agreed but I would have bought my 850 with a 5 years warranty. They have great confidence that these 850 will last way beyond is usefulness.

I don't see the 10 year warranty as a selling point , if your a PC enthusiast there's no way your waiting ten years to upgrade with how fast tech advances.

I agree, which is why I said this...

The 512GB 850 can probably handle 100's of PetaBytes worth of data written to it without breaking a sweat......another selling point.

I just hope the drive provides better Photoshop performance, not that my backup Vertex 4 is bad, but... :)

I often work with large tiff files (600-800meg) and running them from my OCZ vertex 4 SSD drive gives good performance; now that I have a lager drive I can move the ones currently in work to the 850 for (hopefully) even better performance.

Anyway back to my paper...
