[aden.anderson2001]

i have a samsung evo 860 250gb ssd on my laptop and its installed to the place the disks are supposed to be inserted to, i meant the dvd drive. I benchmarked it using samsung magician and it returned the following results:

should i be worried about this? im gonna buy a new pc in 4 months and going to do some research about where is the best to install ssd in a pc , but does installing ssd on my dvd drive of laptop make it underperform in some way?

Those sequential numbers are much faster than a standard 860 EVO.
Do you have RAPID mode turned on?

Yes I do. Should I turn it off and benchmark it again?

Yes.

That RAPID uses part of your RAM as a cache for the drive.
That benchmark number is mostly reading your RAM speed, not the drive.


And connecting the drive via the DVD port isn't going to damage it.
It might be slower than it should be, depending on the properties of that DVD interface.

here is the results without rapid on, thanks for letting me know. btw i read rapid mode doesnt actually have that much of effect on performance, is that true?

Absolutely true.
I tried it for a while, saw no real benefit. So I turned it off.

The read speed is fine, the write a a little bit slow. But that may be simply due to the DVD interface.

Thanks. How long do you think my ssd would last? I've been using it for almost a year and so far I've written 5.23TB of data and Evo 860 250gb seems to have tbw of like 150 so I'm far away from the end of this ssds life I think.

Your SSD will last longer than your computer most likely and possibly much longer than you’d like to use it

The TBW number is just for the warranty. Just like the number of years.

It will likely last a long time.
My eldest SSD is currently an 840 EVO, Nov 2014. Running mostly 24/7 since then.
