So today I got my samsung 850 evo 250GB SSD, absolutely love it so far, so much nicer when windows reboots in like 20-30 seconds instead of 2-3 minutes!

 

After doing a little tweaking on windows and such, I remembered to install the samsung magician software, I set the ssd to operate in rapid mode and optimized my os for maximum performance, this is the result when running a performance test:

Pretty damn crazy speeds!

 

Anyone have suggestions for the "Advanced" settings for a mixture of reliability and speed?

Thats your ram speed, not SSD speed.

RAPID mode uses your ram for cache. So no, youre SSD storage is not that fast.

Well, realistically they aren't that high. You probably enabled caching which artificially boosts benchmarks like crazy.

As stated above

 

If those were indicitive of real world performance; it'd be faster than the NVME Intel 750 SSD.

Ah, that's kinda what I guessed lol.

 

Any suggestions for optimizing windows 7 for SSD usage? (I'll still have two other HDDs in the system, one will be used for shit storage, the other for programs, recordings of games, etc..)

Oh and btw your OS does not get any of those ultra fast speeds. The fact is that any OS on a SSD will boot within 30 seconds which is nothing special

 

RAM is volatile memory and if you cached your OS to that you would instantly corrupt and lose it in case of any power failure. So your OS still gets the normal ~500MBps SSD speeds

The only things getting those fast ram speeds are a couple GBs of files from recently acessed programs or files

 

To optimize? Run ccleaner at least one a week to clean temp files and stuff as well as delete registry errors

TRIM is probably already enabled so you dont need to worry about that

Also delete the hibernate file on your SSD to get more space :)
