Show us your SSD performance 2

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

My 18 months old Samsung 840 Pro SSD. Using Rapid Mode.

Attachment 360524

Mine is kind of puny compared to yours.

Did a Samsung Magician Update - score a little better, still not as good as yours.

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.

How does PSCO2007 manage a higher score on older equipment with an 840 ssd ?

His 4K-64Thrd read rate is so much higher

Also ran a Magician performance test, maybe we could compare.

Guys, disable rapid mode and redo the benchmarks. You are testing your RAMs more than the SSD.

This is with the drive approximately 1/2 full of data. 250GB 850 Evo.

Are you sure, why does the software say to have it enabled ?

essenbe · 29 May 2015

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.
