Show us your SSD performance 2

That's because they are controlled by a Marvell controller and not the Chipset controller. You will typically get better results from the Chipset controlled ports. IRST will only work on the Intel chipset controllers.

Yep time for a new MB upgrade

Edit: I purchased a Marvel 4 port SATA 3 PCIe card. didn't go well installing the first time.
I may have needed to disable to the onboard Marvel ports. Total fail broke my Dual boot broke win7 broke win 8.11
Disk Images restored still not boot
Win 8 disk image restored still no boot got Error NTLRD missing.
Windows install 7 fails to find partition
Clean SSD
convert
Clean Install win 7 pro, up and running on SATA 2 port.
I think if I get this card to run it should run my SSD's Faster

Even though you are getting lower benchmarks than others with sata III ports, you are doing OK. What makes the difference is not those big numbers the manufacturers put out or that others (like me) like to brag about. What makes an SSD so fast is as an OS drive 90% of the speed is from the response time and the 4KB read speed. Now, compare those things to the people who get the big scores and I think you will find your results in those areas that really make a difference, are not much different. Besides, your drive, the way it is right now is 10 times faster than a spinning hard drive. So, things are not as bad as they seem. Scores don't really matter. The response time and 4kb read speed is what really make a difference.

Here's a few benches from the Evo I installed recently. Nothing amazing but about right. Seems like a nice drive and the Samsung software made it very easy moving my OS from my old Vertex 4. A couple of clicks of the mouse and it was fully transferred and working perfectly within 10-15 mins

Very similar to mine Paul although I have noticed some slowing over the last six months I have had it but still no slouch.

Mind you the SanDisk Extreme in this laptop has showed no signs of slowing down at al.

That should make you a happy camper.

Mine is an 840 and it double your speed?

Is it in a 6gb port?

His will have been without Rapid mode enabled Harrie.

 

[HarriePateman]

Ahhh didnt thank of that sorry

 

[Defender3]

Ahhh didnt thank of that sorry

Sorry guys, I should have offered a better explanation; Rapid was not activated. I wanted to get away from my tower and go to a smaller footprint system so I bought an Alienware X51 R2 and immediately replaced the 1Tb drive with the Samsung and ran a benchmark. I wanted to see how it compared to my previous system with a Crucial M500 960GB SSD. Here are the original Crucial scores:

Here is the Samsung in the X51 without Rapid:

And here is the Samsung with Rapid enabled:

ETA:

Samsung Magician Score:

 

[paulpicks21]

Ouch! That's a pretty brutal score with Rapid mode enabled! lol

Very nice.

 

[essenbe]

very nice score, Defender3. I would be proud of that too.

 

[HarriePateman]

Very nice

Hi everyone , i decided to check out my SSD performance and got some conflicting info . On one screen it says i have damaged blocks (brand new SSD) and on the error check screen i have zero damaged blocks .

Any ideas

Thanks

 

[Clintlgm]

Your first photo shows that 2 blocks were repaired. I would assume that since they were repaired they would not show up as bad blocks in later scans.
I would run the Manufacture diagnosis tools to insure your don't have a defective SSD

It looks like your running HD Tune, I have never run an error scan on any of my SSD's, The info tab and health tab are all the information I need!! If you start having an issue with a SSD it should show up in the Health tab. I don't really know as I have never had a SSD Fail YET "Knock on wood"
