You could use something like crystaldiskmark and stress the drive when it's writing/reading more than 8 GiB and you should see the performance drop quite a bit. This type of performance is what's important for moving big files, I've seen the Kingston Savage drive beat a Samsung 850 so people's idea of a good drive seem to be different from mine. None the less, it's important to know that SSD's are primarily for the faster access times anyways, that upgrade alone from a disk is well worth it. I have to applaud Samsung for great marketing though, they're a big name, and are a safe bet, so I completely understand their situation, but those ram disk speeds are just ridiculously misleading, you're losing data if power goes out..

Those specs are very misleading when talking about speed, but yes any SSD would do for loading games, and I agree, 120 GB may not be enough space, which depends on if they're new or old. The 840 is almost bottom of the barrel in terms of SSD performance but then again, loading games isn't constantly moving big files either.

speed varies, not all evo get same speeds but my evo 850 gets 548/484 so its a fair average

what does magician measure for random, since its clearly not mb... mine gets 95725 read, 82982 write

I wish magician scaled to 4k, i need a magnifying glass to read the interface :)

i realise they slow down a lot once their cache is full. They great for small files but not so great for big ones, you lose the speed benefit. Most home users don't move large files around on a daily basis, business users buy enterprise lvl drives with caches big enough to cope.
