I realize these aren't perfect tests, no benchmark is. These synthetic benchmarks are exactly that, synthetic, but are very useful to help us know if we're getting the expected performance out of our hardware investments. Think about how little time SSDs are used during normal use, given how fast they read and write those tiny files touched as you use Windows for productivity tasks. Idle is where most of its time is normally spent. ![]() It can only consume at most 7 watts, but sips only 70mW when idle. For these tests, I'm just using one tiny drive, the Samsung 950 PRO. This is a compact motherboard at 6.7"圆.7" (17cm x 17cm), with an integrated octacore Xeon that operates at around 45 watts. These results are looking quite favorable, highlighting the power of the efficient Intel Xeon D-1540 SoC. Video of ATTO run on C: and D: concurrently Best of each of the 3 runs, Drive C M.2 socket and Drive D PCIe slotġ0. Just don't go nuts with those artificial write tests, and you'll be fine for years.ħ. I would suggest you avoid benchmarks that do writes and run for hours or overnight. Table of Contents Just one day of many tests. It's all explained in my storage plan, along with my Samsung 850 EVO 2TB for laptop/VM multi-boot. Its fate is a quick secure erase, then combined-use as both vSphere Flash Read Cache, and as a VMFS datastore. I won't be using this Samsung 950 for exclusive Windows 10 use for very long. The next series will cover a Windows 10 VM running on VMware ESXi 6.0 Update 1a. ![]() This first series of tests use Windows 10, using two 950 PRO 512GB model MZ-V5P512BW SSDs at the latest firmware 1B0QBXX7. These past few hours, I've been quite enjoying doing some basic tests of my two new 950 PROs, 512GB capacity, ensuring I'm getting expected performance levels. Posted by Paul Braren on (updated on Jan 11 2016) inĪvailable now on Amazon in 256GB and 512GB sizes, 1TB not expected until early next year.
