Windows 10: Crystal Disk Benchmark results on SSD's and Spinners

Just did a quick CrystalDiskMark benchmark on my son's computer.

His OS drive is an Intel 600p NVMe drive.




His storage drive is a Seagate Barracuda 2TB 64MB Cache 7,200RPM spinner (ST2000DM006).




Guess the SSD is a tad faster.

Windows 10 Creators Update has caused problems

i also have a problen with this update .... It also causes random crashes of application ....... The biggest problem of this update is that my pny ssd has lower random read/write speed in creators update ......it was all ok in anniversary update...but slower
in creators update after benchmarking i am also waiting for a patch .........the patch 15063.332 didn't ...... if you own a ssd ....i suggest you running crystal disk mark app to see if your ssd performing well that is if you remember the previous benchmarking
so that you can compare....

 

SSD sequential write speed tops at 10 MB/s in W10 instance due to wrong driver

Hi, I have this problem: I have a Samsumg 256 GB MZVLV256HCHP-000H1 SSD ("system disk") and a 1 TB Samsung 840 Evo SSD on my HP Omen notebook. The Evo performs properly. But according to my experience and SSD benchmark tools, write speeds in my system disk
are way poor, for example, the sequential write speed is just 10 MB/s (yes, ten megabytes per sec...).

The OS was reinstalled using HP's recovery disk or whatever, installing all the factory stuff after a motherboard replacement.

Now I managed to narrow down the possible reasons. I've created a Linux USB stick and booted from that to make benchmarks, and both SSDs performed well (at least I managed to reach 250 MB/s write speed on the system disk as well). That is, the issue shall
not be hardware-related.

My notebook does not even have non-AHCI mode, and Windows shows the AHCI driver in Device Manager. Yet I'm afraid the system disk uses an inappropriate driver. Because the drive is not a consumer model, but one sold by Samsung to computer builders in large
stock, Samsung provides no drivers to download. HP only provides Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, which seems to have no effect on that disk's performance.

AS SSD benchmark shows these driver info:

• System disk: stornvme - OK
• Evo: iaStorA - OK

I wonder if I could try to switch the system disk to use the Interl storage driver, or if you have any other ideas to fix this issue, without a clean reinstall of Windows.

Thanks for reading,

Gus

 

No by much, but a little faster. *Wink

 

You should look at getting a SSHD.

I don't need performance for my storage drive. Its just storing isos, downloads, backups, etc.
