Sequential tests are pointless. For a consumer, random read/write performance and QD1 is what matters.
Your drive loses in both 4K QD16 tests as well as the 4K QD4 and 4MB sequential write tests.
And WTF cares? Sequential read/write tests don't indicate real-world performance.

DStealth, because 99% of the purchases will be done because 3500>2500 and people will actually be happy they have faster drive, even thou, in reality, it is vice versa.
sykozis, stuff might have changed indeed, crucial loves updating their drives indeed, can you run qd1,4k rr? If it beats 960 pro I'll be laughing my ass here 😀

Yes it's 2TB but 2TB drives are a little slower than the 1TB ones.
We should see even better improvements when they release a driver for it.
I'm seeing significantly better results across the board on other websites.
HH is probably using default windows 10 driver where other sites are using a modified 950 pro NVMe driver.

Its just a driver forced installed via have disk, inf maybe has the device id added.
The actual driver is the same though.
Do you have a 960 pro?
DrunkenDonkey
Yeah I just quoted A01, forcing 950 driver will probably work perfectly. INF modification will be a bit more problematic as you need to turn off windows signature verification (on 8 and onward) or give me the modified driver to sign (yeah I do have ms authenticode certificates).

In other sad news, the only thing that could really make storage faster - intel's 3d xpoint memory (supposedly released this year) is delayed till the end of 2019 probably. And this is server, then an year or 2 for consumer... meh I'm getting old.

so this is a good score for my 840evo then!
DrunkenDonkey
Good - yeah, possible - nope 🙂
Something's wrong with the test for sure. Try with another, for example http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskMark/index-e.html

You are testing a memory cache, not your NAND. Guys please stay on topic here? Thanks.

I don't know its just an standard install of win 10 deafualt drivers etc ? nothing setup to use an ramdisk or similar if that's what you think ?
I don't really understand this type of tech so why I asked about my test,
the only thing I have done is diable the encrypted drive which I clicked in samsungs software wish I hadn't because then I couldn't secure erase the drive, so manage to a hold of samsungs “TCG_Revert_Release.exe” and manual and disabled it so I could secure erase the drive
and looking at the files from samsungs revert tool cant see anything in their that would make a ram cache ?
