Incredible SSD Speeds

I recently bought a 850 PRO for my Y510p, and I ran a benchmark (multiple times because I couldn't believe it) to find the speeds. After running five times, I've gotten an average 4957 read (max 550) and 4233 write (max 520). My random reads and writes are also incredibly high, at 156120 (max 100000) and 120163 (max 90000). Any idea why this is happening? It's like PCIe speeds on SATA. Is this a bug or what? It does have insanely fast boot times, about five seconds to boot and it's ready to run Counter Strike (ultra settings of course ). Anyway, any comments appreciated, I'd love to know if this is real or not.
Y510p - i7 4700MQ (Overclocked to 3.6GHz), SLI GT755M, Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2133MHz, Samsung 850 Pro 256GB, MyDigitalSSD SuperBoot 128GB, Intel Wireless-AC 7260, Windows 7 Home Premium (SP1)

Hello,
Perhaps the benchmark program isn't reading data correctly from its operations against the Samsung 850 PRO.  I would suggest checking with its author.

  • Qosmio F60-10K and SSD Speed

    Hello I have new problem xD maybe not so big :)
    I bought Calisto Mushkin Delux SSD 240 B speed is 285/275...
    I install Windows what get with my laptop via Recovery DVDs and I put out-of-box installation , my SSD speed on benchmark is about 150/145 and not over 200 like I bought I read somewhere its not good for SSD to put IMAGE, and Toshiba Windwos Recovery CD put IMAGE on and I think this is because of this it decrease my speed of SSD.
    So quastion is how to put Speed on SSD over 200 mb is maybe solution to install some fresh Windwos 7 not out of box or ?
    Btw2... I want to crypt my SSD with TrueCrypt 7.0A ... how this decrease my SSD speed if someone know.
    Thank you all who help me, last problem what I put on this forum was resolved because nice people :) ty all !

    Hey,
    Of course you can test it with your own Windows installation but I doubt its a problem of preinstalled OS from Toshiba. I mean this image is tested and configured for your notebook
    In your case I would also check the firmware version of your SSD. Maybe there is an update for it.
    Make also sure that BIOS version of your notebook is newest one.

  • Question about SSD speed rMBP 13" 2015

    I think I read somewhere that the 128GB SSD included with the base configuration of the recently refreshed 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display is slower (in terms of read/write speed) than the other, higher capacity drives that are configurable. Could this possibly be true?

    More chips = more paths to read and write from simultaneously, big SSD's are made up of a larger number of smaller chips.

  • Dumb question: Could an SSD speed up STP?

    I regularly use Soundtrack Pro on an early 2008 Mac Pro. My boot drive also has all my apps, but I record into a different internal drive. I'm wondering whether swapping that recording drive out for a SSD could speed up either/both recording and editing operations on files that average approximately 1.5 Gigabytes in size?
    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    David is on the right track here.
    I've been playing with some mods for an early 2008 that wants very fast throughput. We've determined that an SSD system drive will allow the computer to access system and application code at 2-3 times the "normal" speed. Assuming that all processors are suitably tasked, the system should be executing those instructions at close to full efficiency. In most cases, the applications are working towards a reduction of data for output, so the only question remaining question is how fast do the storage drives for the output need to be? In some cases, a normal SATA drive may suffice. In other cases, SATA3 or a RAID may be required to round out the package,
    Hope this helps.

  • Mac Pro 2008 SSD Speed?

    So I just added a 6GB/s SSD drive to my mac pro in the lower optical drive bay, I have a link speed of 1.5GB/s and a max read speed of around 260mb/s - this seems a little slow, so I was wondering if the lower optical drive has a slower rate or shared with the optical drive?  would plugging it directly into the board give me a 3GB/s link speed?
    Thanks.

    you would need to invest in a PCIe SATA controller that is SATA III 6G
    Some let you attach the SSD directly on the card, and support two.
    That is the only way to get higher I/O but even so you should feel how much quicker apps and files open and how even opening dozen apps at login is fast and smooth.
    The native drive bays are SATA2 3G btw.
    Sonnet Tempo Pro model is worth a look and is bootable and would support 900MB/sec with two. Often better used for media scratch than a system though.
    I have Samsung 840 120GB in stock drive bay - very pleased.

  • SSD speed boot

    Let's see if you can help me, I installed a ssd samsung 840 pro on my K430, I noticed that if I boot from the original disk disconnecting 2tb (cleansed of all, without oem partition recovery) does not appear at boot logo lenovo speeding many seconds of the start of the pC. just connect even the original disc logo appears again. how can it be?

    hi andrea__87,
    Just to verify, do you mean you get stucked at the Lenovo logo when you try to boot from the preloaded Windows 8 4bit OS on 2TB HDD? If this is the case, can you try to:
    1. Boot into the BIOS by pressing F1
    2.. Inside the BIOS, navigate to the Startup Tab and make sure UEFI Boot Mode is set to UEFI then press F10 to save and exit BIOS.
    3. If you get the same error, try to press F9 on the BIOS screen to load factory default then press F10 to save and exit. 
    Let me know your findings
    Cheers

  • T400S full SSD speed for secondary drives (eSATA, ultrabay, dock)?

    Does the T400s delivier the full speed of SSDs (SATA-II 3 Gbps, ex: 220MB/Sec seq transfer of the X25-M) when the SSD is used
    - in ultrabay
    - on eSATA port
    - on eSATA port of the Mini Dock (Plus Series 3)
    The T400 seems to deliver the full speed of SSDs when used as primary drive:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T400_series_ThinkPads&message.id=12616

    Many thanks for your responses.  In the meantime I have purchased Vertex 2 Sata II drive and the installation has gone perfectly.  This new drive is giving me a far better experience - first noticed in the speed of installing my software: Office, VS2010, SQL 2008R2 etc.  Blindingly fast!
    As for alignment - the previous installation was checked and was aligned.  In fact I have read that Win 7 will automatically align when installed to an SSD.
    My hope is that this newer version of SSD with the Sandforce controller will not degrade as the original one did.  The difference in performance from new to 18 months of use was quite significant!
    Cheers and thanks again,

  • SSD Speed Test on MBP 13" Kingston HyperX 120GB

    Whats up guys/gals?
    First of all i just picked up my first MBP 13" from the Apple store on 9/11/13
    In those few days ive done a few things.
    First i removed the HDD and installed my Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD that was previously in my desktop.
    I also removed the optical drive, Installed the stock 500GB drive in a Data Doubler.
    Its boothing quite fast and its nice to have all this extra storage, however,
    on "Disk Speed Test" im only showing 140MB/s write & 410MB/s read.
    I have not done anything with system settings after installing this drive. Do i need to enable TRIM? Is it ok to sleep the MBP (close the lid) on the SSD?
    The speeds seem a bit slow for a SSD. Is there anything i am missing?
    Here are some photos.

    Have you tried running the extended version of the Apple Hardware test? You could have something like a thermal sensor that isn't working properly and your fan never gets the signal to increase speed.
    Hopefully you are under warranty and can get this fixed for free. It would be prudent to find out what's wrong and get it fixed even if you have to pay--it should not be a very expensive repair.
    Good luck!

  • X220 SSD speeds

    I purchased the OCZ Vertex 3 Max 120gb SSD for my laptop with advertised speeds of over 500mb read and write. Running speed tests on Crystal Mask and Atto bench mark give me very different results. From Crystal mask I get a slightly lower read speed but a much lower write speed than what im meant to get, with atto benchmark I just get completely erroneous results all together which I find very strange.
    Im sure that the x220 supports sata 3 so that wouldnt be the issue, I have not updated the firmware of the SSD yet on the manufacturer site but I dont know how relevant that would be to solving my problem. I have it running in AHCI mode in the Bios im just wondering if theres anything else that I havent done. Thanks.

    Did you try reverting back to Bios 1.24?

  • Crucial m4 128GB SSD Low SSD Speeds W520

    Link to picture
    Crucial m4 128GB SSD ?
    I tested the 256GB in Ultra Bay..also..see speeds.
    Is this normal for W520 with M4? SSD Alignment is correct.
    Moderator note; picture(s) totalling >50K converted to link(s) Forum Rules

    Looks about right to me. In fact your sequential write speeds for the 128GB drive are above the listed spec. Don't expect to get the full listed read/write speeds most of the time, those are best case.

  • Will SSD speed up iDVD

    Hi,
    have a nice MacPro 2010 4core 12gig with fast boot and user drives and two slow archive drives.
    Am pretty disappointed with how long my iDVD takes to make either a TS_Folder or a Disc Image from my projects.
    Would getting an SSD Drive to boot & run iLife on Speed things up?
    If so, by how much? If it's just a few percent I'll shrug and live with it, but shaving even 25% off a 4hr encode is still a full hour!
    Activity monitor shows app fluctuates between 100 and 200% during most of the encodes.
    Getting impression From the dramatic fluctuations in percentages that the CPUs are getting starved by a bottle neck at the hard drive level.

  • SSD Speed Test

    Hi - I just installed this Samsung 850 Pro 512GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD into my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 (running Maverick-10.9.5) and am getting 256MB/s (write) 268.0MB/s (read), when I should be getting "up to 550 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 520MB/s respectively". TRIM is enabled. Speed tested with Blackmagic design Disk Speed Test utility. Why is the discrepency? What about the following sentence (which I'm not sure I understand) "sequential read and write performance up to 550 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 520MB/s respectively". I'd appreciate a reply. I'm not a techie. Simple instructions would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I am going to disappoint you, It cannot be altered to SATA3.  SATA 3 was introduced with the early 2011 MBPs for HDDs and for the HDD and DVD connections with the late 2011 MBPs.
    Ciao.

  • SSD Speed

    Just wondered how much faster (if at all) the speed difference is between the SSD in the latest model iMac and latest model Mac Pro. Can someone test a Mac Pro with the Black Magic Design Speed Test? I got 727.5R/661.9W with an iMac.

    SATA Express meets the '09 MacPro - Bootable NGFF PCIE SSD  (  1 2 3 4 5 6 ... Last Page)
    nMP uses a 4x slot PCIe and gets in excess of 1.2GB - the above are using old MP with new PCIe-SSDs.
    MBP and iMac uses slower PCIe with fewer lanes.
