I recently got deal on a Samsung 850 EVO. It's brand new, with stickers and chops. But it's $60 off retail price.I added that to a external SSD case of an unknown brand (Qicent) that dosen't have great reviews on Amazon. Yet, I'm supposedly getting 273MB/s and 304MB/s on write/read speeds on XBench. They pretty much match speeds from online reviews.
It's very unsettling and I wonder if they are more tools I could use to measure the performance of it. I am using a MacBook Pro and Samsung Magician does not run on it. GeekBench is expensive to purchase and I'm limited to softwares that run on the Mac.
