How can you tell ?

Did you disable Rapid mode in the Magician software ?

Disable Rapid mode and run the test again and post your results.

Here is my test with Rapid Mode disabled & the one below is with it enabled.

As I never use it with Rapid Mode disabled, this exercise is really only for comparison purposes. So from the practical point of view it is somewhat pointless.

Rapid Mode disabled.



Rapid Mode enabled.

It`s not pointless, you can`t get a true test result using Magician software with Rapid mode enabled.

Rapid mode creates a ram disk, that`s what`s tested when you have it in Rapid mode, I`ve always had it in Rapid mode too, but with it off I see no speed change at all, read the posts above that explain why Rapid mode is a bad idea.

My year old 840 EVO still going ok it seems.

Hey John, is that one connected to a SATAII port?

Yeah seems slow for an EVO should get at least 300 on both.

I thought the same thing.

Thank you for that info & point taken.

What`s wrong with this Intel 530 series 180 GB drive ?

It`s scores are terrible.

It`s sales specs are on the right.

Anyone load the software disk that comes with the Samsung evo ssd's ?
