New firmware released by samsung for the 840 (DXT07B0Q). This is what it says on the samsung webpage:LINK "This update addresses the following issues : 1. Improved "dirty drive" write performance." Has anyone tried it yet?

BTW in case anyone was still wondering, TRIM is still enabled on the non-enterprise RST. I checked it but forgot to report back.

Your anvil results state that your using MSAHCI? driver. I don't know what driver that is? Are you plugged into the intel chipset SATA ports or some other 3rd party chipset? If so try plugging your drive into the intel 6Gbit ports and then get the 11.6 RST driver from intel.

It is however still a bit lower than what i see on reviews of the 840 drive (like on this review for example) That review shows 31.1MB/s and 110MB/s for 4K and 4KQD4 reads. where i get 24.3MB/s and 89.02MB/s They also obtain 119MB/s and 235MB/s for 4K and 4KQD4 writes, where i get 58MB/s and...

This is a standard 840, not the Pro version.

I did some more testing on the weekend whereby i tried different RST and RSTe drivers. I tried the last 2 releases of RSTe taken from the intel website, (3.2.0.1126 & 3.5.0.1092/3.5.0.1101) and they both had the same issue whereby I had to disable write-cache buffer flushing in order to get...

Curious. Can you explain why you think this? The anvil benchmark pics show the alignment as being "OK" with cluster size of 4096B Also i dont know how it would be improperly aligned given that it was a brand new blank SSD, and windows 7 pro 64bit was then installed on the blank drive from...

This is a very interesting comment. I was not aware that an X79 system would have such strange issues. I just googled this subject and apparently others are seeing this issue too, where they have to disable write-cache buffer flushing to get advertised speeds. It is likely that this is...

I was able to run AS SSD, and Anvil, here are my results. The AS-SSD sequential numbers were similar as advertised, however the Anvil results were similar to the low samsung magician numbers. At this point i now had two benchmarks showing poor performance on this drive (samsung...

I will perform the AS-SSD benchmark later on tonight, i am not familiar with Anvil but i will look for it, and run it. I am still interested in seeing other peoples results when they run this samsung magician software, just to confirm that the magician software is indeed not accurate or...

Hello everyone. I have been building a PC for a client, which has a Samsung SSD 840 with 6B0Q firmware, installed as the OS drive. And i have some performance results that i would like to share, and ask if others are seeing the same performance on their Samsung SSD 840 drive. First off here...

I'm a little confused about the comment about having to pass your internet through this device? "The fact that the Gauntlet Node becomes an intermediary between the user and the router brings the importance of its speed as a wireless pass-through device" Can’t you just configure the...

I tried joining yesterday morning and it gave me an error. Tried again today, still same error. It does this when i click on join, and then login. If i login first and try to join, the join button is missing. "Sorry! An error was encountered while processing your request: There was an...

I hope that other manufacturers make smaller cards to take advantage of the smaller PCB. It would be nice to be able to put one of these 670 cards in a mini-itx case like the silverstone SG05.
