Crucial SSD vs Samsung SSD performance comparison question

Hi.

Are you connecting one drive at a time to test performance?
In other words, you have W10 on each SSD as a boot drive and you are plugging one in, testing, then powering down, unplugging and switching to the other drive?

If this is the case, the Samsung should be the drive with the best performance - if the correct Samsung drivers are PCI-e 4. The Samsung is working great to me!

Try Atto's free tool:

This is also a very interesting site to test and compare:

Please post back with your findings.

@NavyLCDR,

Sorry to jump in here.

I have been working on a project for the collation of Computer and OS data, and have generated a couple of Commands that I think you might find useful for getting user information from members that are having a problem.

Code:

PowerShell "$AAA=Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.IsSystem -eq 'True'} | Select DiskNumber -ExpandProperty DiskNumber;" ^
           "$BBB=Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.IsSystem -eq 'True'} | Select PartitionNumber -ExpandProperty PartitionNumber; Write-Host 'System Disk and Partition : Disk' $AAA 'Partition' $BBB"
PowerShell "$AAA=Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.IsSystem -eq 'True'} | Select DiskNumber -ExpandProperty DiskNumber;" ^
           "$BBB=Get-Partition | Where-Object {$_.IsBoot   -eq 'True'} | Select PartitionNumber -ExpandProperty PartitionNumber; Write-Host 'Boot Disk and Partition   : Disk' $AAA 'Partition' $BBB"
PowerShell "$AAA=(Get-wmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem | "^
           "Select @{L='LastBootupTime';E={$_.ConvertToDateTime($_.LastBootupTime)}} | Select -ExpandProperty LastBootupTime).ToString(); Write-Host 'Last Bootup Date and Time :' $AAA"

System Disk and Partition : Disk 0 Partition 1
Boot Disk and Partition   : Disk 0 Partition 2
Last Bootup Date and Time : 14/02/2022 13:44:36

@gil -

You need to use a few nice tools to get an average result.

The way I do it is very simple. The SSD is the boot drive. The other is an HDD or an SSD.
Do a large block file transfer of 50 GB - simple copy and paste - you will see the throughput.
