pro assistance w/ Samsung Magician: Does enabling Samsung OS optimization and rapid mode worth it or bad for performance?

[Rhaegyn]

Hello all! so I've recently made a new PC with my primary drive being a Samsung 850 Evo with my windows 10 64bit OS installed on it and I use a 2 TB WD drive for my storage.

My question is:

- Is "maximum performance" option under "OS optimization" using the Samsung magician software worth it and...

- is enabling rapid mode worth it?

From the research I've done, it seems that the technical community is divided on the subject; some reviews and people say that OS optimization and or rapid mode enabled does make a slight different in performance, but others say that OS optimization and rapid mode are trash and cause BSOD errors. The samsung magician software was just recently updated this month to a new version that allowed rapid mode to be used in windows 10, but I need to appeal to some expert windows/SSD users to fully understand if I should enable these features or not on my new system.

I want to get the very best performance out of my system, and I want to make sure everything is working at peak performance before I finish installing the rest of my software on my new PC; thus, I really need some informed assistance on if I should enable "maximum performance under OS optimization tab" in windows magician, and if I should enable or disable "rapid mode" in Samsung magician software.

My system info is as follows:

- samsung 850 EVO
- i7 5820
- 16gb of DDR4 ram
- nvidia GTX 980

thx much for any help!

I use rapid and custom optimization. I've never heard of a problem with Rapid, but with computers, and people mixed together, I'm sure someone has managed to foul up their system.

Thx much for the feedback. I would use the "custom optimization" option but it seems that the pre-sets for the "high performance" option are all very good as I read over each one. I don't know if I know enough about SSD's to custom set the settings myself better than the preset options.

custom is great if you have lots of ram(16+). if you allows you to basically eliminate the page file. I love Samsung SSD, I have some by other makers, and they're good, but they're not Samsung. Have fun with your system.

Can you please post your exact custom settings for the very best performance possible for the following specs; I have 16gigs of DDR4 ram and a Samsung Evo 850.
