Just got my 840 pro 256gb and installed win7 on it. I have optimized it for maximum performance in the Samsung magician.

I was wondering if these IOPS were usual as i've seen people get higher and at around 65k its way lower than advertised.

thanks
 
Are you using Intel rapid storage drivers? They will help,as will enabling overprovisioning,you will lose some space though
 
I wouldn't pay much attention to that Samsung Magician benchmark, mine are all over the place. It will however depend on things like the motherboard, SATA chipset used and SATA/Intel RST drivers used.

I've got the same drive but my random write is actually lower than yours, my random read is much higher at 99412 however it benchmarked similar to yours on a few of the test runs I've done.

Ultimately you won't notice the difference between 65k and 100k in real world usage unless you are doing very storage intensive things all the time.
 
They usually offer better speeds over the standard Microsoft drivers

I ain't on my ib pc or I'd post my 840 pro speeds,but pretty sure they are in high 90's for both random read/write

Your drive isn't faulty though,


EDIT: heres latest intel rapid storage drivers

Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver 12.8.6.1000 WHQL http://www.mediafire.com/?dyeoyb9k5f6ynog

What SATA3 port is the ssd on? Intel ports are best

But installing the Marvell drivers won't hurt things,speeds are better now
 
Usually their are two Intel sata3 speeds ports and the rest are Intel sata2 speed,the white ones seem to be Intel sata3
