Got the SP A55 2TB to use as a media storage drive in a USB 3.0 enclosure.

Needed to get 71GB of files from a WD Green 240GB. Copied them to internal 860 EVO drive. Around 150 MB/s average write speed (WD drive seems to be limiting factor).
Wrote the files back to A55. 300+ MB/s write speed.

Then wrote a 76GB RAR file.

After this, verified the RAR file by using WINRAR's test function.

That took about 820 seconds so about 95 MB/s read speed. Could be limited by processing power (i7-4770). Curious why it shows GB read as only 51 when the RAR processed was 76GB. Any ideas?
