evo overpreforming

[Paavan]

I don't know if this is a bad ssd or a blessing, but my samsung evo is way outperforming spec, and it is starting to worry me. It would be great if someone could help.

i think it has misread..

SSD LOTTERY?!?!

You've broken the speed limit of SATA3! Impressive! What's the secret?

[brownninja97]

i find it weird that you are complaining about it being too fast.

 

Edit: I understand now.

[Paavan]

my ssd is part god

[Paavan]

ive run the benchmark 6 times, same result

You probably have the RAM caching enabled.

what does that mean

[Joshyy]

what does that mean

 

Extremely similar to what it sounds, The RAM is caching data to make it access faster.

thanks, sorry, I'm kind of a noob

[Paavan]

ill try it

[Paavan]

I finished the benchmark

Results? Also, what does CrystalDiskMark say? Do you get similar results? There's no fancy magic going on here. It's impossible to break the SATAIII speed.

[Paavan]

this is what I got

Here's mine for comparison

It's probably reading from RAM.

[Prince32780]

@Paavan Was that the first run?

yes it was

[Prince32780]

yes it was

 

Those are RamDisk speeds. No way it's off the SSD.

[Paavan]

thats crystalmark

the benchmark even says drive c

[Paavan]

I ran crystalmark again and got a write of 800

[Godlygamer23]

It's coming from the "C drive" through software, but those are NOT coming from the SSD. SATAIII cannot handle that much bandwidth. Period. The SSD is likely utilizing RAM caching.
