Poll: How much time it toke till you don't give a damn about you new SSD benchmark?

So I recently did a clean install, and my 4k come out low compare to few months ago.
got like 15-25 compare to 17-35ish.

But I was like meh, who cares.

When I got my first SSD, spent like a week to research on every tweak possible ~~.

 

I only bemchmark it to make sure the setup is correct(i.e. alignment, driver is proper) during the first few days. Then forget all about them.

 

1 day. Just bench it when I get it to have a reference number. Briefly compare it to online values then forget about it. Also, stress it with new FW update to see differences.

 

I like fast numbers with my RAID 0 array...jk

But yes as others have stated, just to initially make sure the drive is aligned right. The biggest thing SSDs give you is .1 ms latency. 4k is eh, I can hardly tell the difference between my G1 80 GB and my 320 GB RAID 0 array.

 

I basically just install Windows, make sure defrag is disabled, and shrink the pagefile. I did all the "tweaks" when I first became an SSD owner, too. I honestly cannot notice any difference performance-wise between then and now.

 

Just bench it once after installation. If the numbers are roughly in line with others', then it's set up correctly. While everything works well, there's no reason to get concerned over small variations.

 

I run multiple benches every time I reformat just to make sure everything is in order and not a fluke result.

*not that I can do anything about it if it's too low (aside from firmware update or RMA)

 

I tested different settings within the first week. Found the sweet spot and now I don't bench anymore. Mind you...you are reading and writing each time you do....wasting a lot of write cycles...

 

I bench occasionally just to make sure I'm running tip top. I originally thought that my 4k speeds topped out at 25/49MB/s. I realised my CPU was holding it back so I disabled C1E and boom, almost 30MB/s reads and over 80MB/s writes. It pays to research, fiddle and tweak every now and then.

 

not really any... i just enjoyed how fast it was.

 

never did, never will unless I need to troubleshoot

 

home pc: bench it and tweak first time I put it in for the fun of it and comparison with other ssds to see how it breathes, second windows reinstall, only fast 2 pass CDM test to see if everything is OK.

work pc: tweak the hell out of it on the day of install, leave it afterwords until some new driver or other related significant improvement becomes available, than see how it works (didn't happen yet ).

 

I benched my SSD once after install, it looked normal; I haven't done anything of the sort since.

 

Got the M4 and the Samsung 830 . Played around with a ton of settings and benched it every hour for a day . Then forgot about it existing in the laptop until the next round of firmware upgrades .

 

Only the first day, then forget about it and get on with my work.
