Just ran my first benchmark on newly installed Samsung 850 evo 500gb: Comparative is this fast, medium, or slow for ssd's
What Read/Write speeds do you get with ATTO? https://www.techpowerup.com/download/atto-disk-benchmark/
Guys, great numbers. I thought those numbers were for PCIe NVM SSDs and not for the old boxy SSDs. Here is an 860 Pro with 530/530 https://www.umart.com.au/umart1/pro/Products-details.phtml?id=10&id2=159&bid=4&sid=343766
Writes seems slow, Dell XPS 8700, 16gb ram. I don't have a slot for pcie version, the pro 850 $$$, for this old machine. This vanilla ssd was 149.00

The gray space, held 'windows recovery' deleted before cloning to new ssd, now that it's gone, can I merge, that 40+gb to C: if so what app to use for Windows 10
Rico, In the Macrium thread your SSD OS partition was 463.94 GB. In post #14 above, your SSD OS partition is 417.36. 417.36 plus 46.58 is 463.94 GB. It appears you have resized the OS smaller and then back up again. Is there another explanation as I'm confused. There was no 46.58 GB of Free Space in your #6316 post.
Hi Brian, Yesterday I saw 46.58 gb 'unallocated space', disc mgt. showed that box wita black band on the top. Right click os, which was next to unallocated, chose extend, upon completion, the os showed 463.94 gb & the 'unallocated' was gone. Since the unallocated was gone, I've rebooted. Today moment ago I re-looked at disc mgt. The way the pic looks now, is the os 417.36 or 417.36 + 46.58. Some Somehow it reverted as yesterday after extend OS increased by 46.58, & black gone. The 46.58 previously contained 'windows recovery' Is this like phantom space, & showing from clone
@Brian K I just redid, extend volume, from disk mgt, then in the process took to snips It must be a mirage (me think) as 463.94 X 1024 = 475074 That matches "Total volume...(MB): If this is correct next reboot, will show OS minus 46.58 & again show unallocated. Can the unallocated space not show up permanently in disk mgt? & That's why availabe is blank!
Rico, The Recovery partition you deleted last week was 8.51 GB and it was to the right of the 450 MB partition. Win 10 is being spontaneously resized from 463.94 to 417.36 GB. This is seen in Disk Management as well as Macrium Reflect. Very strange.
This Dell XPS, I remember calling Dell (under warranty), after giving the tech info, she said something like Oh I see this machine has problem, (like she knew something was wrong), by just giving, model & SN. She transferred the call, somewhere else, I asked about the problem & they had no idea. Call back, they still had no idea, mystery! This started out as win 8 > 8.1 > 10. Then (can't remember when it started) the machine occasionally becomes so slow, requiring half hour or more just to load windows. That led me to contact M$, where they thought, corrupt 'user account' tried to create new, & made the machine not bootable. Macrium to the rescue. The slowness became almost non-existent, in Win10. When the machine gets, real slow, the little circular dots, can take 1 minute before the next dot appears, like you see on boot or windows loading. What works gets her back to normal, force shutdown, unplug, hold the on button in, wait, plug it in & it cured. This just happened on reboot, from post #22. Also sometimes, just, forced restart works, always restores speed is the unplug
Occasional slowdown post#23, starts at BIOS screen (Dell logo) real slow spin of circular dots, I suppose BIOS updates, updates UEFI code, if that was known problem a BIOS update would have fixed. Perhaps MB problem?
Triple Helix, On a subjective basis, do you think your computer is faster if you enable Rapid mode on the SSD?
