Hi All,

So before I got my Samsung 840 EVO which I've fell in love with, I had a shameful Crucial V4 which caused nothing but problems including stuttering on Battlefield 4. On a normal hard drive the game worked flawless, however not only on the "buggy" Crucial V4, but now also on my Samsung 840 EVO the game stutters like mad? it most definitely seems SSD related. Below is a screenshot of AS SSD benchmark, the speeds are impressive so doesn't seem like there's a problem there so what is it?

I purchased a 250gb 840 EVO after Christmas and I have to say that I've suffered with my gaming ever since. Originally installed it as a second SSD or my steam and origin libraries, but after a few weeks of issue, decided to clean install. It now contains my operating system and my steam library and my BF4 Is on my 830, but I'm still getting loads of stuttering and what feels like a dragging effect when running. I noticed it first in bf4, but have since noticed it in ALL of my other regular games (Planetside 2, Arma 2&3, BF3).

Going to try a few things over the next few days and will get back to you with any results
