Hi Folks,
I have upgraded my ThinkPad X270 with a Samsung 970 PRO 512GB SSD. The drive works fine but when I run the performance benchmarks in Magician I get:
- Seq. Read 1,684 MB/s
- Seq. Write 1,667 MB/s
- Random IOPS Read 124,023
- Random IOPS Write 112,060
This is well below the documented performance as follows:
- Seq. Read up to 3,500 MB/s
- Seq. Write up to 2,300 MB/s
- Random IOPS Read up to 370,000
- Random IOPS Write up to 500,000
Now I accept that these are theoretical maximums but the gap is significant.
The ThinkPad X270 has the following specification:
- Windows 10 Pro 64 bit version 2004
- Intel Core i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz
- 16GB RAM
- Latest version of Magician
- Drive interface PCIe Gen. 3 x 2
Could someone please confirm if the above is to be expected or whether I am missing something?
Many thanks
