Is there something wromg with my 960 EVO??

[yannis76]

I recently upgraded my boot drive from an 850 EVO 512GB to a 960 EVO 512GB and while I was expecting performance much higher at least in theory, I get the opposite results!! Is there something wrong in the setup of my 960 EVO?

Reran the tests after installing the Samsung driver, same results, 850 EVO is much faster than 960 EVO!!

Hi,

I have Rapid mode enabled in Samsung Magician for 850 if that makes any sense...

Thx
