Question 4xNVMe Raid0 with different CrystalDiskMark result in Safe and Normal mode

[commonjunks]

Hi,

I am using 4xSamung 970 Evo Plus - 1TB in Raid0 with HighPoint SSD7102, while using safe mode i can hit 12Gb/s read/write but in normal mode i can only hit 9Gb/s read write.
It is fresh Windows 10 pro installation with no extra software installed

Safe mode

Safe mode with networking

Normal mode

Any idea what is happening here?

Safe Mode loads only the required applications to run a basic Windows. It has way less overhead running in the background. That would be my guess.

I also did test in ATTO but ATTO is showing same result in safe/safe network mode and normal mode (not sure why crystal is showing different in Safe and Normal whereas ATTO is same across the board)

Its still plausable that it is overhead vs no overhead. ATTO and Crystal Disk use different ways of measuring performance and its possible that when in Windows Crystal Disk hits overhead that ATTO does not.
