Nothing personal there either.

No personal information just data on hardware probably for their research into what hardware combo and flakey for there products and make adjustments.?

That's arguable at best, especially when it comes to device serial numbers, IP address, etc., that could positively identify the system. All one need is the UID that most of the log entries record, may include access level to the system. Besides, Samsung did state "privacy information"...

I just tested something with my 960 EVO, what do you all think, was it worth it for benchmarking?

Is that with rapid enabled?

No Rapid for 960 evo, most probably RAID because of 2-3 times the speed, maybe with that Intel gadget ?

You can't enable RAPID with an M.2

But here is the score for my SATA 850 EVO

I used ROGs RAMCACHE II

That sucker gives your system a real "powerup"

Oh of course, nice score though!

Thanks, Cliff. I use that on my EVO 860 installs, can't use it on the 960 Nvme. Got my copy.

You can use Magician, just not the RAPID mode.

But ROG's RAMCACHE II works a lot better than RAPID any how.
