Hi guys,
I've ran ATTO disk benchmark on my Samsung 840 EVO SSD and it gave my some ridiculously high speeds.
Picture is on the link below:

RAPID is enabled, but still, seems too high to be real.

What do you guys think?

My build is:
AMD FX-8350
ASUS M5A97 r2.0
Kingston HyperX Beast 4x4gb 1866Mhz
PowerColor AMD R9 280X
Windows 7 sp1 x64

They are real. It's just that you're measuring your RAM as much as your SSD. And RAM is much faster than SSDs. Your dual-channel DDR3-1866 is capable of 29.9 GB/s, where SATA3 SSDs are limited to 0.6 GB/s. And at the high end, quad-channel DDR4-3333 is capable of 106.7 GB/s.
