So, I was just wondering if I have gotten the worlds best SSD by accident? Or the small possibility that the values are off by a couple of thousands.

As you guys maybe know, the 840 should have READ/WRITE below 550 mb/s. Are the high values a warning sign? I have done the benchmarking at several different occasions, weeks apart.

It's just a couple of months old.

Looks like you turned on Rapid Mode. That increases sequential benchmarks results by a ridiculous amount. I personally haven't seen much actual performance increases, but it's supposed to increase performance of much-used applications by using some of your RAM as a cache for the SSD.

Anyway, your SSD is behaving as intended, it's not dying ;)

Sequential speeds measure top speed, which is skewed with Rapid Mode on because it's really measuring RAM speed as well. You'd be very hard pressed to find a situation where your SSD will actually read/write at 2GB+. In most applications actual read/write speeds will be as they were without Rapid Mode, and a bit higher if you use the application a lot and Magician cached it in RAM.
