Hi All
I have recently purchased a Samsung 840 SSD (first time SSD user) and installed it as the primary disk, that holds the OS.
Unfortunately the 'read' figures (sequential and random) are nowhere near to that which is advertised (write figures are fine). Below are the current average readings obtained via Samsung Magician, AS SSD and Atto:
- Sequential read: 360 mb/s (advetised @ 530 mb/s)
- Random read: 6500 IOPS (advertised @ 86,000 iops)
Most features that optimize the performance of the SSD i.e. AHCI, were either activated by Windows automatically or the Samsung software has optimized to offer 'maximum performance. I have also used the Samsung software and CrystalDiskInfo to confirm that the motherboard (Intel HM65 Express Chipset) is SATA 3 and that the SSD IS connected to a SATA 6 gb/s port.
I have now exhausted all avenues and would like suggestions on how this can be corrected. I have seen others suggest that below advertised figures are usually ok, but I feel this is not the case as the write figures seem to be above the advertised figures, yet the 'read' figures are considerably lower.
Many thanks!
