Hello,
I just bought and installed a trio of 960 Pro in my Threadripper build. I did some quick benchmarks and performance are as expected from reviews. Now on real world performance, I'm a little worried. I tried to copy one big file from one disk to another: speed was around 1.2 Go/s. I thought that drive was rated around 2.0 Go/s in write speed. Copying the same file from one drive to a stripped array consisting of two drives resulted in the same performance. Again, write speed to a stripped volume should be better.
What are your experiences with this drive? Were my expectations too high?
I'm aware of throttling due to heat issues but I was expecting that it might affect speeds later during the copy process. What I saw was a constant 1.2 Go/s write speed.
Also I'm wondering about TRIM with Windows stripped volume as this was not available for the stripped volume in Magician when I tried it.
By the way I'm using an X399 motherboard with 3x M.2 connector that are connected directly through the CPU (PCIe 3.0 x4). No chance there is a bottleneck with the 60 lanes of TR.
Thanks.
