If I'm not mistaken, you can use Samsung Magician software to force a TRIM (in any OS - Vista, XP, etc) on the 840 Pro. You cannot do this in RAID though (at least that I know of).

I don't see the option in the magician software?

But what i saw, is like 120Mb/s less sequntial read and like 60mb/s seq write in AS-SSD benchmark..this is with fresh system (2 days) 25% OP, and all power savings turned off (static cpu clock of 4.7GHZ 2500K)

I really have no idea, what can cause such large drop in just 2 days, especially with like 50GB left for over-provisioning.

In Magician look for the feature called "Performance Optimization".

Did it help your transfer rates?

It did, but my read scores are low again, i dont know what is going on :(

Performance is like 130mb/s less regarding seq reads...

Can anyone tell me if this are good RST drivers, maybe they are the problem?

12.8.0.1016, and please post link for a bit older but more stable once? thanks.

I rebooted, and performance are back to normal, but this is the second time i see quite a bit lower performance.

What could be the cause?

if your cpu is downclocking to x16 [intel] run something in the background to kick it up.
-I keep my 3770k idling at 3.5 ,then to 4.6 oc by turning up all the power options.

I got fixed cpu clock, never goes under 4.7, everything is MAXED out, c states have no effect if your cpu is having fixed clock, i know this and have tested it, so i guess some process/application is the cause :(

Nah, i done like 1 hour all in all in like 3 days....with forced trim, and idle log off (force GC) for like few hours 2 days in a row......really haven o diea what can hold back read performance? i know writes, but reads? really strange... thanks for the answers btw.

Also i got every single tweak on, fixed cpu clock, write cache buffer flushing - off, latest RST with power savings turned off, latest chipset, latest UEFI, 25% OP and so on...
