I would if I could be bothered, its an older SSD 64GB Samsung jobby, Sequential  read and write seem to be at about spec 90Meg read.. I can't remember the actual model name but the device is showing as "SAMSUNG MMCRE64G5MPP-0VA" Tried on IDE mode as well..

Just the 4k writes are so slow I closed the program, it was due to take about 20 mins just on the 4k writes, and the 4-64Thrd was looking to take about the same.

I might try the other program listed further above, as that was the one I used before, when I bought the drive and didn't have these problems.

Although normal function doesn't seem that bad, I've had a few crashes recently as well, the system just locks up, but think that may have been the wireless card, but if it crashes again, then I can probably make a good guess something is wrong with the SSD :(

If I get the time I'll post the benchmarks, just updating my iPad ATM

Using ATTO, I get no real problems? It looks to be performing at about spec TBH.

Must be something that the other software does, I think it sustains the 4k writes for longer, maybe filling some sort of buffer or something?

I might leave the other software to run and post the result tomorrow.. It's going to take a while!

Ok turns out my drive may just have been a poor purchase decision, it looks like it may not even support TRIM and Samsung appear to not have ever released a firmware update...

Might have to find something a bit quicker ;)
