    What did you use to burn the iso onto a CD?

    SSD Random Write

    Burn it on to a disc using an iso burning application, like Windows Disc Image Burner or imgburn

    NEW Samsung 950 Pro M.2 3.0x4 NVME ssd

    I bother them all the time. When I first started working in my shop I used to get a lot of customers asking to have their ssds installed, so I would call with them all the time. Especially regarding the 840 evo. They're usually very honest, so I believe them that they don't have a date. Guess...

    NEW Samsung 950 Pro M.2 3.0x4 NVME ssd

    I called 1800samsung. They don't seem to be clear on a date either. Obvious these dates are not official, if they aren't aware of a date.

    SSD Random Write

    Yup 840 Evo. You're running on the Older Firmware of that unit. Upgrade to the latest Firmware by going to www.samsung.com/samsungssd and getting the latest iso. They're got a utility called advanced optimization once you update the firmware that's supposed to fix it. I had a customer at my shop...

    Can I migrate my OS from my SATA SSD to an M.2 SSD?

    Keep in mind that the Samsung software doesn't work with the sm951 and the oem variants. Would have to be a samsung retail model for that software to work. Other than that, Acronis, Clonezilla, and Macrium would be fine.

    Also important to note that the link you provided says the Model is 3542. I'm not a Dell Expert, but make sure they match as well :) Verify that the Service Tag provided this model.

    If you read the Driver name for the Touch pad under the Windows 10 64-bit section, it looks like a 32bit driver: Dell Touchpad Driver View details Input_Driver_CN4KX_WN32_19.0.9.4_A00.EXE | Update Package for Microsoft® Windows® (62 MB) Mouse, Keyboard & Input Devices|Release date 30 Jul...

    Is my hard-drive failing?

    Would definitely finish that Full test and report back. Out of curiousity, considering you've already run some troubleshooting of your own, have you tried changing sata cables? Or mounting the drive on a different sata controller? What about the chkdsk command either gui or dos? I find...

    Are you sure 3545 is a Model? Doesn't come up through any search. Looks like their website doesn't list it either. Check their website to see for the exact model and if it's a windows 10 supported driver.

    Samsung 850 Pro SUPER SLOW Read Speeds

    +1. Try different SATA Cables. I've had similar issues with friends regarding lousy cables. What type of motherboard are you using? And how is the drive connected?

    Are these read/write speeds normal for my Samsung 850 EVO SSD?

    Your results are interesting. I wonder why they have ... at the end of the numbers. Without rapid mode enabled I would assume it to top out below 550mb/s and your 277... implies as if there's more of a result to show. (Unless it's just a resolution issue with the software and your video output)...
