What is your AS SSD Benchmark score?

Corsair MP 510 980GB and Samsung 980 series 250GB. Both should have read/write of 3000mb+. So why am I getting 1329mb on samsung in read? The best i have seen from them is 1500-1600 something, which is half of what i should get. I have 2 pci 3x ports, both disks are 3x too...

I have run the test on HP and MSI in windows with as ssd and kdiskmark and disks in Linux.

any ideas?
The rest of your system specs would be a great help
 
Fresh install of Windows 10 and Ubuntu.
16gb ram.
I7 10th gen

Got same results on 2 different laptops from msi and hp...

Have you checked in the BIOS as to what speed it's running at ie Gen3 x4 or Gen4 x4 sounds more like it's running Gen2 x4 though culd be a dodgy controller on them aswell as you say you get similar results on other PC's

I haven't seen any such options, I checked the firmware of the ssd and its updated. i dont have rapid mode on samsung but trim and full power mode are on.

After three years of my first post here I've finally upgraded my PC, now it's i5-11600K on MSI Z590-A PRO, fresh install of Windows 10. First, the drive that was "C" in that old post, Samsung 850 SSD now has practically doubled the score. Same drive, different MB, what a difference:

And here's the real beauty, Sabrent Rocket M.2 with PCIe 4:

Hi,

I know I'm late to the party with this considering the laptop I'm using my 1TB SSD on is now about 8 years old (3rd gen i3, 8GB RAM) but I have just installed Windows 11 Insider Preview on another partition and thought I'd get some feedback on my SSD speeds as I have no idea if they are about right for this machine or if there's any way to speed it up? I think it's a 500MB/sec rated drive, a Crucial M500.

I decided to do two tests - one on "Balanced" power profile, and one on "High Performance"

Here are the scores on Balanced:

balanced 2nd - as-ssd-bench FCCT960M500SSD1 26.07.2021 12-49-45.png


and on High Performance:

highperf 2nd as-ssd-bench FCCT960M500SSD1 26.07.2021 12-54-52.png


There's not much between them, but I think those 4K transfer scores look pretty poor to me. Are there any ways to push this drive further?

Thanks for any feedback!
 
Hi,
I wouldn't worry about anything this test shows it's not very good and all it does is throw a number out.
All you're doing is wasting writes on your ssd.

Use performance test 7-8 or 9 for better look at your system not just your ssd.

Agreed. It's okay for a first install to see R/W speeds, especially in an NVMe RAID 0 striped set to see your R/W gains. After that your wasting your time and wasting read/writes on your SSD. They are limited and degrade over time.
 
Tests redone but now using Marvell drivers for the 88SE9172 storage controller (1.2.0.49)

I prefer ATTO myself gives a good indicator of ideal performance across stripe sizes both with and without NTFS compression enabled. It's helpful when you want to format and have to make decisions on unit allocation sizes and such on new drives.

Not sure what "iaStorA" mode is but I see it shows better performance.
I have an Asus G750JX laptop.
iaStorA mode is RAID mode vs storeachi which is ACHI mode (Intel chipset).
 
So i have a WD SSD that plugs into your PCI slot. i tested it multiple times and this is my score. what do you all think about that? mind you im running this SSD on a gaming comp i built back in 2015 the mother board is an Asus Sabortooth Mark 2 z97 series, 16gb of ram, 1070gtx FTW (series), cpu 4970k i-7 intel unoverclocked at 4.000 ghz. plus a 3 tb HD and a 1tb SSD that has all my games on it.

This is the SSD with possibly the highest 4K read score atm (excluding Intel Optane). In reviews I've read, 4K scores went up to ~125MB/s. It does feel snappier than old Samsung 960Pro in everyday use.
