Can anyone explain these benchmark results?
This is what the latest version of Samsung Magician shows for my system. I was expecting to see the NVME drive far outperform the SATA drive, but that was not the case. The NVME drive is my boot drive, and the SATA drive is for temp files, My Documents, and general work-in-progress stuff. Based on these results I'm thinking maybe I should swap the usage and use the SATA drive to boot from.
One possibility is that the SATA drive is set to use Rapid Mode, which essentially buffers the data I/O to the drive, so maybe this is the reason for the results I got. Perhaps Samsung has gimicked their benchmark to take advantage of that.
