I guess you have RAPID mode on? If so take these results with a pinch of salt. You know its not correct when your 5GB/s is far outwith the capability's of SATA 3.0 bottlenecks.

This looks like a glitch in the benchmark results I ran, considering that the speeds are unbelievable. I ran the test within Samsung Magician, here are the results below:

I still have to remove the poop from my pants that accumulated when I found these results...but 5GB/s read on  a single SSD doesn't sound right...

I just now turned it on and ran that test. The results of that test just look like a huge glitch because they're breaking the limitations of a SATA III connector, but I was still surprised at what it showed me. Not sure if anyone else encounters this issue with RAPID mode on.

Good. I'll just say it's a glitch in the application and call it good. This SSD is blinding fast, and I seriously doubt I'd get much use out of a physically impossible 5GB/s read/write speed.

No, it's no glitch. RAPID mode uses ~1GB of RAM as Cache, and what you see is the resulting speed. (remember: RAM is much faster than SSDs)

So is that benchmark result the speed at which I can write to cache?

Yes. Not sure though, if it's just writing to cache or to a combination of cache and SSD. The performance increase you see, however is caused by the cache.
