I think you have Rapid Mode enabled, see what it is with that turned off.

Your right it is enabled, and there is quite a difference when disabled, but that will have to wait until i next need to reboot the PC again( ain't doing a reboot just to disable it,) & again to re-enable it

Samsung Magician must be creating a ram drive of sorts.
As I have 16Gb of the stuff to play with it's not to bad, any lower and you could be in trouble.

Just read this thread and thought you might find this interesting. I built a new Ryzen rig 3 weeks ago and bought a Samsung 960EVO NVMe SSD to run on it. Just got round to to benching the drive  i am well pleased.

[Ronski]

Very nice result there kitfit1, I was looking at a review of the 960 Pro the other day, very impressive. They keep on getting quicker, but I think I'll stick with my 950 Pro M2 for now.

Thanks for the info snadge.

Also, for anyone with a Samsung 850 Pro not on the latest firmware, it may report the wrong powered on hours. Mines been running 24/7 for about 1.5 years but the figure from smartctl is about 2.5 years!

Latest firmware EXM04B6Q, "Improved compatibility and accuracy of 'Power on hours' in S.M.A.R.T."

given samsung's record of bodged ssd firmware's I will accept the cosmetic uptime bug

I realise the thread is a bit old, but wouldn't it make more sense to just turn off the web browser disk cache and increase RAM cache, rather than messing around with RAM disks?

[Chrysalis]

Alex that is something I tried in the past when I used to use firefox, when I did that, the browser simply chose to not cache a lot of stuff, so it seems for various content it will either cache on disk or not at all, plus a ramdisk cache is preserved between browser restarts.

Never really tried it in chrome, by then I was just used to having a ramdisk so I still use it.

Just built a Ryzen 3900X 32GB (3600Mhz) rig with a Sabrent Rocket 4 1TB SSD 

Do I win the badge for the fastest storage?

[Chrysalis]

Looks like you are running that over pcie v4 so yeah.

[Ronski]

Somehow missed your reply, yes it's on PCIe 4

[Ronski]

I've been benching a few storage disks lately, how this for speed, does the bottom left right take the speed crown?

[Chrysalis]

I have said for ages, what do I need these speeds for, well I noticed videopad seems to want to reread the entire video source file if I do anything with the file, clipping, exporting etc.

When you have a 13 gig game recording as the source file on a spindle, it is is fair to say a fast SSD would help, but I am not sure yet if I want to be using my SSD's as storage for large video recordings/edits.

[tubaman]

..., does the bottom left take the speed crown?

Yes and no - it's marked as RAID 0, so each physical disk is only running at around half that speed if I understand correctly.
