This is my first SSD and it's a new computer build, this is why I run Samsung Magician many times a day.

A couple days ago I used to get these results constantly:

Now, for some reason, no matter how many times I run the benchmark test, I can't get past 522 Sequential Read, and as you can see, the Random Write has also decreased by about 9K or so:

As you can see, the rest of the parameters (Sequential Write and Random Read) remain the same.

Here is my SSD setup, so you can see everything is okay:

System restore is already turned off, of course.

What could be the reason to the ~30MB Sequential Read & ~9KIOPS Random Write decrease?
It's killing me ;\

Thanks!

P.S:
Maybe it's related - I don't know, but here is another 'issue' of mine; Boot time:

Thanks!

Dude, you're getting great results. Your RANDOM WRITE is exceeding what it supposed to be, and looking at this post and the other one you linked, you're just basically "grade grubbing".

Is this the 2,5" SATA EVO for is it the M-SATA EVO?

Also. you don't want to run Benchmarks to often, its not good for the life of the drive.

Thanks for the reply!
it is SATA (PC)

I am aware that the results are great, but I was just curious to as why it decreased all of a sudden.
As for the other thread of mine that you mentioned (the boot one) - I wouldn't say a single thing had it been 5 cycles from the beginning, but seeing it change made me wonder..

Well like i said, running alot of benchmarks in a small period of time isn't good for the SSD, also how much capacity do you have available? With any SSD, the fuller in Capacity it gets, the slower it gets.
