Everything is achievable through technology

New SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, songs, and more!

19/7/2014

 
Test conducted using Samsung Magician Software

Read: 546MB/s
Write: 522MB/s

With RAPID technology enabled:
RAPID technology uses RAM as a cache. Considering RAM is super fast, and together with the SSD, brings incredible speed

Read: 6390MB/s
Write: 4885MB/s

Startup time from laptop button press (including the Fujitsu logo boot screen) to desktop: 11 seconds
Startup time from laptop (removing the time taken for Fujitsu logo boot screen) to desktop: < 8 seconds

Speed ~ 10x faster than my HDD

Once the laptop is booted up, and the desktop is shown. I can immediately click any application to have it open almost instantly. I've tried it with Chrome, My Computer (ultra fast < 0.5 second) and Steam

Laptop also have a 640GB HDD (It is internal HDD, just in case you are wondering)
Means the entire laptop can be carried around without any additional bulk or wires

Recorded based on Windows 8.1 x64 Update 1 with Microsoft Office installed
Microsoft Office took less than a minute to install. I tried copying a 800MB file around my SSD, was able to copy it instantly without the Copy dialog showing

Windows able to start up without the loading wheel (It is just too fast for the loading wheel to show)
Incredibly impressed with the performance of the SSD

SSD RAPID disabled benchmark, raw speed

See the difference! HDD

All my files are still there. Optimizing SSD basically just runs the TRIM command on my SSD, which is being handled by the Samsung Magician Software

I have 8GB of RAM and using RAPID brings my RAM usage from around 19% to over 50%

AHCI mode enabled and SATA3 maximum performance
A is for AIRBORNE
I is for IN THE SKY
R is for ROUGH AND TOUGH
B is for BORN TO FLY
O is for ON THE GO
R is for READY
N is for NEVER QUIT
E is for EVERYTHING

Down by the river
Took a little walk
Ran into some terrorist
Had a little talk cock

Push them, AR, Kick them, AR
Push them, Kick them, AR AR
Into the river
Let them drown
We don't need those terrorist
Hanging around

Hey!, don't be a fool
Somebody said we are number two
Screw you, we are NUMBER ONE
UWAH!
A is for ANG KU KUEH
I is for ICE KACHANG
R is for ROTI JOHN
B is for BRIYANI
O is for OTAH
R is for ROJAK
N is for NUTELLA
E is for EGG TART

Down to the cookhouse
Took a little march
Ran into the COS
Had a little WAYANG

Stand still, AR, Don't move, AR
Stand still, Don't move, AR AR
Until we go in
We don't need those fidgeting
Or moving around

Hey! don't be a fool
Somebody said we are not hungry
Screw you, we are damn hungry
UWAH!
I'm WORRIED, for YOU... but why? Are my worries unnecessary? 
Do you think things are already to a point of no return?
Enjoy your show tomorrow... (with him I suppose)

Am I supposed to give others a chance? O_O
Or do you still think that we are still possible in the future?
I hope he doesn't treat you bad

Sorry, shouldn't have thrown my temper at you
Forgot to tell you something, maybe next time when I feel better I'll tell you about it
I didn't forget your voice, I just COULDN'T BELIEVE IT'S YOU

I HATE GOODBYES, TOO :(
