Hi..i've just bought an ssd 840 pro 256gb and after installing windows and magician i run performance benchmark. For my surprise the sequential read&write are way higher than normal. How can that be true? Random read&write are fine. I followed this guide but it didnt perform well so i applied settings for maximum performance from magician software. Any ideas?

So you mean that i have to turn off rapid mode and rerun benchmark and then turn it on again? What about intel rapid storage technology? Is it necessary or i do not need to install it?

The write speed might be a glitch if you turned off rapid and didn't restart the pc (i know it needed a restart to be enabled, not sure about disabling it).
Or are you talking about the IOPS?
I don't think over provisioning is really necessary unless you are heavily writing to the drive daily, but having it set for normal daily use isn't bad either.
