With RAPID enabled its more of a memory benchmark than a SSD benchmark.

I wouldn't worry too much about the issue. Firmware fix will resolve it. And its not just the reviews in this thread. Have you seen the reviews on Amazon? The evo is the highest, most rated SSD.

Ignoranus posted:So, uh, I updated the BIOS, installed Windows, ran Windows Update a million times, started getting everything rolling again. Remembered to install Magician from the OP and it tells me AHCI isn't enabled. I thought for sure that I did it, but maybe I did it before updating my BIOS? So... that could be a problem. No, just follow the instructions in this KB: Error message occurs after you change the SATA mode of the boot drive http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/922976 quote:To resolve this issue yourself, enable the AHCI driver in the registry before you change the SATA mode of the boot drive.

Jose Cuervo posted:I just got a new computer (Dell T7610) at work that has a 256GB SSD and a 2TB regular hard drive and 64GB of RAM. The computer came with Windows7 professional preinstalled on the SSD. When I opened Windows explorer and navigated to the computer, it shows that the regular hard drive has 1.81TB of free space (which I learnt is normal). However it shows the SSD as having 98.6GB free space of 226GB. I understand the 226GB number comes from the way harddrive and RAM manufacturers advertise differently, but what I cannot understand is how I only have 98.6GB left. I don't believe that installation of the OS uses 127.4GB (online searching seems to say that between 20 and 30GB is normal).

I wonder how this new firmware is going to effect the life of the SSD. Those tests that showed it took almost a petabyte of writes before failure, whos going to do that with the new firmware?

Naffer posted:Trimcheck says trim works fine on my ide mode drive, but whether it can accurately determine that seems kind of questionable. Whats questionable? It says it works. I have used it on a system where trim wasn't working, I installed the correct drivers, tested again and it said trim was working. I think its a pretty reliable test. http://www.thessdreview.com/daily-news/latest-buzz/trimcheck-does-your-ssd-really-have-trim-working/ https://github.com/CyberShadow/trimcheck

Skandranon posted:It's fast alright. Haven't yet had a chance to do some actual speed tests, but was able to straight up write data faster than my Samsung 840 could read it. It can be picky about motherboards though. I have an Asus Maximus VII Hero, and it wouldn't work in the 2nd red PCI-E slot, had to use the 3rd black one, which is supposed to only work in Gen2.0 mode, and not get the most speed. Will have to tinker some more later with it. So far just using it as a large drive, but plant to eventually put Windows 10 on it and boot from it as well. Not sure if this applies, but did you have to update to the latest BIOS for the hero to support NVMe drives? http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VII_HERO/HelpDesk_Download/
