Samsung RAPID mode, which drive?

JaseUK · 14 Apr 2015 at 12:13

Hi guys,
I have two Samsung 840 EVO's in my laptop. One is for my Windows (C

installation which has all programs etc on it. I use the second SSD for all my games.

I currently have RAPID using the C: drive but just wondered if it would be better to use it on the Games drive?

Enable it on the Games drive or OS drive?

don't enable it at all, doesn't make the slightest bit if difference.

granted you can see faster results through running the speed test in their software but for me when gaming and general PC usage it didn't make any difference with it enabled or not so to save it using resources I left it disabled.

Oh I thought it would have made some difference. Wonder why Samsung even have it

both if you want

its a kind of ram disc,it reads/writes to your ram instead of the ssd (guessing) as for noticing any faster speed I doubt you'll notice

You can only enable it on one drive.

It doesn't seem to be doing any harm so I think I'll leave it running, for now
