Looking at this, it reports ATA5 instead of ATA6.

is this normal?



mobo


transfer speed between SSD>HDD:



about 500MB/s for ~1-2sec, then falls down to ~80MB/s

Quite an old program that, but here's mine, same drive on same chipset.



You got AHCI set in BIOS?

if you are using sata don't pay much attention what HD Tune says about UDMA Mode. afaik it's irrevelant for sata. I have 2 SSDs that both say UDMA5 active but speeds are as they should be.

get something like AS SSD and run a test.

i repeat again. UDMA 5 or 6 doesn't matter for SATA.

Quote:
UDMA 5/6 are markers for parallel ATA 100/133 MB/sec, which none of your devices are actually running. It's just how the BIOS is presenting them in the PATA compatibility wrapper.

your read speed seems fine but write is slow. maybe drive is almost full?

and why does it say "SCSI disc", do you have your SSD connected to a 3rd party sata controller, like Marvell? connect it to motherboard native sata port for best speeds.

it is connected directly to the MB, I believe SATA3 port

I'm thinking of migrating to 512

ok i noticed your first screenshot again and your drive is 90% full. your write speed suffers because your SSD is almost full.

so connection is ok?

RAPID is not enabled, because I'm afraid of data corruption in case of power failure (which happens)

yes it's ok. you can try doing performance optimization in Samsung ssd magician, might slightly increase your write speed but i doubt it, the only real way to increase speed is to free up some space.
oh and btw make sure TRIM is working. http://lifehacker.com/5640971/check-if-trim-is-enabled-for-your-solid-state-drive-in-windows-7

Writes are very slow for that drive, but as said, it's rather full. SATA port 1 is the recommended port for an SSD drive on the Z87 chipset also, tells you that in the manual.

Different chipset, atleast on mine. Z77 OC Formula.

Some are Marvell, some are Intel, Intel is recommended for max performance.

Just got a Toshiba N300 4TB for my new PC.
Was a bit afraid at first, because it seems to be a rather fresh product and found no real reviews for it.

Well:


Frap Frap Guy

No comparison to my old ass WD and Samsung drives with ~100MB/s writing/reading. Laughing


Have it currently out of the case and i barely hear it at all.

I just hope their product slogan "High-Reliability" stays true.

But those 4k speeds are common for pretty much every HDD.
