Hey just recently purchased a Samsung ssd 850 evo 1tb I haven't noticed amazing speeds like I thought i would and my benchmark is kind of confusing to me ...

Sequential read 7458
Sequential write 6595
Random read 203624
Random write 129107

I have an asus rog Maximus hero alpha mobo , it says I'm connected to the correct sata 3 port at 6gbps maximum performance active rapid mode on achi enabled.. Any help is appreciated thanks

You can leave it on. Rapid Mode is just why your benchmark numbers are different. If you live somewhere that has frequent power drops and you don't have a UPS, then I would turn it off. It is just one more buffer between your data and its final resting place when writing.

Ok cool... So are those benchmarks good? Sorry for the noob questions it's just that it's my first ssd and the speed is not what I expected I thought I was doing something wrong . I guess it's just not that impressive to me lol
