Who wants a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB drive? Come inside to see how you could win!

Alright guys, here's my go at it. I'm sure you didn't mean for us to do a graph of each and every test, so I've just done one result from one benchmarking software for each drive. It would be physically impossible to fit more information than this on a single graph and still have it be meaningful.

This graph shows the results of the CrystalDiskMark Sequential Read and Write tests for each drive.

I've presented this as I would if I were including it in a Lab Report or Scientific Paper. The point of a graph is to display trends and patterns in data, not the values themselves. A graph such as this would always be accompanied by a table containing the data used to construct it, obviously unnecessary here. Usually, the title of the graph would be underneath the figure in a figure label, but I've included it on the graph here for the sake of legibility. Of course, I wouldn't present these results in a paper as they were only single readings. Ideally, I'd take these measurements up to 10 times each (the more the better) and then conduct a statistical analysis on the results to give a mean value complete with uncertainty to be displayed on the graph. This would also allow for more valid comparisons to be made between the drives, but that's beside the point!

Regardless of the reliability of the data, these results clearly show the Samsung EVO with Rapid Mode activated trouncing the oher drives by a significant margin in both Read and Write. Even without Rapid Mode, the EVO still offers a faster Sequential Write speed than any other of the tested drives. This drive is obviously a serious piece of engineering!

Thanks to OcUK for finally running a competition that is in my realm of expertise (hopefully)! And good luck to all the other entrants.

My Graph ideas for CrystalDiskMark... some with 8pack logo :) (I apologise if it is not allowed to be used)

The other benchmarks are giving me a massive headache making the graph actually meaningful as the EVO in rapid mode has such ridiculously extreme results on those benches.

Thats the sort of thing I am after! Nicely done :)

Maybe I should clear the OP up a little :D

Either way, 15mins messing around with a graph generator and it could be yours. Well worth a punt I think :)

Sorry if I'm missing the point but surely you should be after something a little more custom and not just someone inputting some results into a program? :confused:

True but an entry is an entry. Id like a clean and easy to read chart/graph that we can pin up to show the advantages of the EVO over the competition. Random graphs can look nice but custom is always nicer :)
 
some noob competition on the way
sorry if i can use the logo
this graph are (un)protected by copy rights( please dont copy them(not even the data!!!!!!)
