To test real life performance of a drive we use a mix of folder/file types and by using the FastCopy utility (which gives a time as well as MB/s result) we record the performance of drive reading from & writing to a 256GB Samsung SSD850 PRO.
60GB Steam folder – 29,521 files.
50GB File folder – 28,523 files.
12GB Movie folder – 24 files (mix of Blu-ray and 4K files).
10GB Photo folder – 621 files (mix of .png, raw and .jpeg images).
10GB Audio folder – 1,483 files (mix of mp3 and .flac files).
As might be expected, the SSD960 PRO dealt with our real life tests without any problems, although the drive's performance did drop off when dealing with the small bity files of the 50GB File folder test.
You have some kind of bottleneck since you don’t achieve maximum specification speeds.
This will set you back at least 3 grand.
its est at $1299 USD lol.
The IOMeter IOPS results aren’t near the specification performance because a different test procedure is used to the one that gives Samsung its specified figures. IOPS numbers can change quite significantly based on the tested QD and number of Threads.
that is truly impressive, I would like to see some reviews for the lower capacity models
Should be released on 10/30 (or 30/10 for you euro’s) here in the states, and I cannot wait to get my 2tb 960 pro! I’ve literally been postponing a whole new build just to wait for this drive, but it’s going to be well worth the wait!
“…that’s a bit of an understatement to say the least as Samsung quote Sequential read/write figures for the 2TB drive as 3,500MB/s and 2,100MB/s respectively. Incidentally, they are the same figures as for both the 512GB and 1TB drive..”
This text is directly from the first page of the review….did you even read the article?

Tweaktown’s review…only they test drives by making them the OS drive, then filling it to 75% capacity to more accurately mimic the conditions a real user will be using the drive under…
just because it is rated for the same speed, doesn’t mean that it will perform exactly the same, the random read/write performance isn’t as fantastic as the ratings are showing
