SSD Weird Performance

[MagicalMidge]

I have been getting some very weird readings from my SSD just recently... here take a look.

While I would love to believe the result's my knowledge on SSD read/writes and the limits of SATA3 prevents me from believing it.

Do you think it's faulty? Is this a common issue with SSD's?

It's worth me noting that I dont think its down to my motherboard or CPU because when I test one of my other drives, they show up around where they should be, they're mechanical and getting about 150 read/write.

There's lots of testing software. Not all of it good.

Samsung - http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/global/html/about/whitepaper08.html - prefer "PCMark Vantage or PCMark 7 because these tests closely approximate actual consumer usage scenarios"

It'll drop over time as you use it and it gets more data on it I'm sure.

Had the SSD for about 6 months now, it has about 3GB free space.

Oh well. I'm sure you can live with it.

Really helpful guy, really honestly, you couldnt be more helpful... I start a thread denoting weird SSD readings and your best answer is "Oh well" This forum would go to dust if it wasnt for you...

Please a forum is for people to share knowledge, not to mindlessly comment on issues. In future I would appreciate it if you didnt answer something you have no idea about.
