      @Breffni-Potter Are you using the same box you're running the benchmarks on? If so that may be lowering your score.

          @Breffni-Potter Ah ok. I only have a latest greatest MacBook Pro lying around at the moment so I can't run the benchmark until tonight because obviously one cannot get work done on a mac.

            One can get work done.

            If one installs Windows 🙂

                  @Breffni-Potter Now I know everything about your computer. Including that you have not OC'd it.

                    @Breffni-Potter Are you using rapid mode w/ that Samsung SSD? If not you may up your scores quite a bit w/ it on.

                      I prefer that if the power dies I don't risk losing data 🙂 that's the danger of rapid mode.

                        @Breffni-Potter What data do you think you'd lose? The last 3 seconds of work?

                            I'll run 2 SSDs in raid-0 then.

                              @Breffni-Potter Still won't compete sadly. I'm getting over 5GB/s read/write on mine, and it's only a 256GB.

                                That rapid mode sounds like bobbins.

                                How can it give you 5GB performance with no risk?... What is it actually doing.

                                  @Breffni-Potter It's just using system RAM as a buffer and writing ( and then intelligently reading until the buffer is purged ) everything from it, like a middleman between Windows and the actual SSD.

                                    Right, so in my case if I go hungry on VMs and eat more RAM. It won't work as well?

                                      @creayt But the SSD is so high performance that the buffer is flushed very quickly still, just not as quickly as writing to RAM, so if power loss happened you'd be looking at a max of like 5 seconds of work lost in most scenarios.

                                        @Breffni-Potter Yeah, if you're using almost all of your RAM it's probably not a good idea. Hence why my last few systems have been 32GB. It's that much faster.

                                          Maybe I'll get an extra pair of cards. 🙂

                                            @Breffni-Potter The catch is it can only work with 1 SSD, has to be a Samsung, and can't be part of a RAID. But yes, it's just amazing. It makes M2 and PCIE SSDs look slow as dickles.
