Greetings folks. I've got several Samsung 1TB drives. All are the same model and are of the same batch but upon running them on the same board I've noticed they each seem to perform differently in CrystalDiskMark 2.2 benchmarks.
I just wanted to confirm if the amount of space being used on the drive actually impacts performance?
Each drive has varying levels of performance and is plugged into the same motherboard (I've also tried on an AMD board, so seperate controller and had similar results). The settings I have used is to run 5 tests/500MB each.
Drive 1
SEQ READ 145.2
SEQ WRITE 80.78
512K READ 50.64
512K WRITE 48.09
4K READ 0.635
4K WRITE 1.227
Drive 2 (has files on it)
SEQ READ 113.3
SEQ WRITE 109.5
512K READ 26.90
512K WRITE 55.49
4K READ 0.354
4K WRITE 1.041
It seems a significant variation? Should I be concerned?
