I just did a write/read speed test with the samsung magician software. It showed me 150k read and 250k write IOPS while the advertised one is 250k read and 550k IOPS write.

FWIW, the 500GB version of the same drive comes in at around 300K for reads and writes here with Samsung Magician which is heavily at odds with the official figures.

AS SSD Benchmark 2.0.6821.41776 shows figures that are much closer to those quoted by Samsung.
