Crystaldiskmark reports 6000 MB/s read/write on my 840 EVO

Hi guys.

Kind of funny (and annoying in this case) - Some friends and i, were having a SSD speed contest. I was pretty sure i would not win, seeing one of them had a PCI-E SSD from OCZ.

However i got this result from CrystalDiskMark (And Samsung Magician), and I'm not even sure where to begin.
Any idea to how i could've gotten this result?

No RAMdisk before anyone implies

Cheers
Marc

That's Magician's RAPID mode (RAM cache). Turn if off if you want to benchmark.

You probably have RAPID turned on which uses your ram to cache.

Samsung does have their RAPID thingy which kinda works like a RAM disk IIRC

Oh wow, you're totally right. Haha - How did i not think of this.
Does it really increase speeds that much or is it a 'false positive', and have low impact on real-world performance?
