First time posting (more of a lurker), So apologies if this is in the wrong place/incorrect formatting. However I have an Issue I wouldn't mind trying to resolve/figure the reason behind it. I have owned a samsung evo 250GB for a month. I had rather low random read/write (IOPS) being in the range of 40000 (according to samsung magician) and around 400MB/s sequential. This is with it optimised for performance. Today I decided to see how much a difference 'rapid' mode would make. I enabled it, rebooted and then benchmarked it.
When I benchmarked it I was rather surprised with the results (primarily sequential) and thought it must be samsung magician being incorrect, so I then benchmarked it with AS SSD and CrystalDiskMark, similar results. I then Benched my seagate barracudas (1TB 7200rpm) and they gave normal results.
So my main question is what could be the reason for these results as they seem so incorrect. I have rebooted several times since and re-benched same outcome. Screenshot below:
System Specs:
