Mr. Gibs Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Pretty close already. Fry's had Samsung 500GB drivers for US$199 this weekend. I have two of those in my laptop. Absolutely fantastic drives. And they're warrantied to 150TB. To put that into perspective if you wrote 50gb a day that drive is warrantied to last 3000 days (or well 8 years) and that's just the warrantied life. It's actual life will be significantly greater than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted February 17, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted February 17, 2015 This has made me think about my SSD. It seems like it will last me a long time, but how is it doing on speed? What is the average SSD read and writes, what is the fastest? Here is mine....is this normal?

tomasse Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 "" Wow, that's a lot of info, ok then! A 2nd wow, samsung SSDs are rocking this thread i see. I think this shows a lot about them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the average SSD read and writes, what is the fastest? Here is mine....is this normal? Not sure but heres mine. Not sure if this is normal readings either, since I'm on windows 10. 840 pro with rapid mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the average SSD read and writes, what is the fastest? Here is mine....is this normal? It looks a little low, but I haven't benched our EVOs in a while. We use them in a LOT of our machines at worked, but even with AHCI enabled, they only run at 3GB, so I don't get full speed on those drives. I know my 840 Pro is always up around 500 for sequential read/writes on my machines which are 6GB SATA. Can't remember what the Randoms were. Have you enabled RAPID as well? That won't help overall performance, but will help with frequently used stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't help overall performance, but will help with frequently used stuff. But at the same time, if that SSD replaced a Standard HDD it would make a machine feel like it was new. So i'm not sure how important these speeds really are. I mean my main workstation is still running off Sata II and the SSD is only getting 202mbs both directions (which actually look better than before, then again I did just upgrade the firmware a few hours ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted February 18, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted February 18, 2015 Mine isn't an EVO or anything, its just an 840 Series. How do you enable Rapid? Warwagon, you are right, but at the same time I want to make sure mine is running at full speed, no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warwagon, you are right, but at the same time I want to make sure mine is running at full speed, no issues. Don't its not worth it. Pretty much every benchmark shows that it makes no difference and in some cases actually slows down the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Hoffman Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I believe I have it in the worst possible configuration for the life of the drive - two SSDs in a RAID-0. I just back my files up.

goatsniffer Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I might win: It's a SuperTalent drive that I have had for a long time. It's no longer active, but it got down to 29% rated health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted February 27, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted February 27, 2015 hmmm...thought I used my computers more than that. My notebook would have a bunch more hours...but I just recently replaced the HDD with a SSD. The Intel came out of my older HTPC...and I do not use it anymore. Just plugged it in because I figured it had the most hours. The OCZ is in my desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can the drive be rated "Excellent" and only have 29% health? Are we sure this program spits out accurate condition of the drive? briango, +Warwagon and +E.Worm Jimmy 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
