Hey folks,
So it seems as if my Samsung SSD 850 Pro (256GB) is extremely slow compared to what I've seen as standard. Using Samsung Magician, here are my performance numbers:
Sequential Read: 403 MB/s
Sequential Write: 353 MB/s
Random Read: 52,416 IOPS
Random Write: 33,305 IOPS
I also have an OCZ Vector 512GB which had the following using Magician:
Sequential Read: 406 MB/s
Sequential Write: 351 MB/s
Random Read: 43,982 IOPS
Random Write: 31,739 IOPS
Are both of these under-performing? Is it just the Samsung? I have OS Optimization set to "Maximum Performance" in Magician, AHCI mode in on, and both SSDs are each plugged into a SATA 6GB/s port.
Could my Samsung SSD be defective? My PC has been a bit sluggish lately as well. I started fresh earlier today and it seems a little better, although I won't be sure until I have all apps installed again. For reference, here is the rest of my relevant hardware:
CPU: i7 3930K @4.3GHz
Mobo: Asus Rampage IV Formula
RAM: Corsair DDR3 1866MHz
GPU(s): 2x GTX Titans
