Samsung 850 EVO

[JacobSteele]

Today in the mail I received my brand new Samsung 850 EVO. I had been awaiting this for a while and eagerly stuck it in my PC and migrated all my boot data to it.

Specs of SSD are as follows: 

Sequential write up to 520mb/s 

Sequential read up to 540mb/s

4KB Random Read (QD32) 94k IOPS
4KB Random Write (QD32) 88k IOPS

I was fiddling with the settings after I put it in and came across RAPID mode. I researched the function on the Samsung website and it states that it harnesses excess PC power to accelerate the SSD. I placed both RAPID mode and High performance mode on. I was expecting a minimal increase in performance but what I got I was not expecting ;_;





I don't know if this is normal and I'm going to look like an idiot if it is. Any input is welcome, I only bite on tuesdays

(Attached is CrystalDisk benchmarks and Samsung Benchmark snippits, feel free to use them with reference to me)

Ciao for now.

Yes its normal, infact my 840 does more than that. Its based on RAM speed.

So I gather that it is just Samsung SSDs that do this?
