Lulz. Ain't that the truth. I was just wondering how it went wayyy overboard. Just reinstalled Windows 10 with a fresh install on this SSD and did the test and it just shocked me.

I don't know how its possible, if it's a mechanical then yeah I would understand but with an SSD? ...?

SSDs benefit from RAM caching- this one from Samsung's RAPID mode software. I don't know if HDDs benefit from the same, what makes you so sure that putting a fresh install of Windows on an HDD makes it faster? My Seagate Momentus 5400RPM laptop drive has been through two Windows installations and 3 OSX installations, and the benchmarks are identical.

The only thing that's improved for HDDs with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 is better hardware optimization for HDDs, which is what lets them boot in <20 seconds on a hard drive.

tests on my 2tb seagate hdd :P

Did a windows 10 install with like default programs (testing/benchmarks, games, applications etc...) and did a fresh install and it was incredibly faster

cleans the platter

the head has alot less to get through to find the data

I mean, sure, if you fill any storage device to the brim, it's going to be slower. However, I don't understand what makes you think this is exclusive to HDDs. SSDs actually see more of a performance drop when you fill them up to over 80% of their capacity.

Also, I'm fairly sure the head isn't a smart little mouse that has to look through a repository of random data to find it- that isn't how hard drives work.

From what I gather, it depends more on data fragmentation than capacity.

I edited my post, and a little research raised a few doubts about your claim.

Oh its not making it faster, it was just time for a clean wipe and get rid of a bunch of stuff I didn't need.

do you know what rapid mode is???

it makes a ramdisk

those speeds are the speeds of your ram not your SSD

Yeah, sorry buddy, but RAPID mode uses your RAM as a read/write cache for the SSD, so what you are seeing is the speed of your RAM.

Forewarning, if you don't have a UPS you should probably turn RAPID mode off. If you have a power outage and anything is in the RAPID mode cache, it will be lost forever.
