I always wonder what stuff is or does so i understand , i have used Speccy quite a few times when someone has requested to know what computer i had and all the hardware etc... it's very detailed .
I like the portable version
Hello,

Under RAPID mode (help) it says
RAPID (Real Time Acceleration Processing of I/O Data) Mode
RAPID mode increases the overall performance of your computer by pairing the
industry's fastest SSD with the most advanced storage management techniques to
deliver the fastest and most reliable user experience. RAPID mode analyzes your
application and data usage, dynamically optimizes the I/O for Samsung SSDs, and
eliminates system performance bottlenecks. RAPID mode is fully automated; no
user management is necessary.
Two questions:
- As for the 'Advanced Settings' : I think(!) the current settings are okay
(Hibernation Mode, Indexing Service/Search, Prefetch/Superfetch. Write Cache Buffer, Write-Cache Buffer are set to be 'active')
and
- Did anybody try the 'RAPID' mode and noticed improvement?
Thanks

Only in the synthetic tests. There is some improvement in copying large files between two SSD drives. I used to do very high cue depths work at one time and enabling rapid definitely helped. Under normal use and gameplay, cannot see any difference. I can tell you this, it doesn't hurt. Just one person's opinion.
It definitely does not help boot times. In fact the rapid service only loads during the boot process and at best, would create a minuscule delay in the boot process.
I have experimented with " Rapid "and i leave it disabled on my machine , my machine is just as fast without it with an 850 Pro . I did all the Magician optimization and i have the latest firmware.
