Samsung 840 EVO performance?!

[misijabs]

Hello everybody,
I'm running a Samsung 840 EVO 250gb as my OS drive and i have just recently upgrade its firmware to EXT0BB6Q.
Then i have ran a CrystalDiskMark on it to check the speeds. (never done this before)
Here is the picture with results:

My question is simple:
Are these number real? I'm not sure if i'm reading them right or what, but they seem a bit high?
My configuration is as follows:
CPU: AMD FX-8350
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 r2.0
RAM: 8gb Kingston HyperX Beast 1866Mhz
GPU: Sapphire HD 7870XT
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250gb
HDD: WD 1TB Blue
PSU: Thermaltake 630S 80+
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1

Yes, they are most likely real. You have RAPID enabled, which allows use of up to 1GB of your system memory to be used as a cache for the SSD, so in a sense you are using CrystalDiskMark on your DDR3 to a point, which as you see gives you great numbers. You can disable RAPID and re-run the tests to see the difference.
